Harmonic Highlights:

  • Employs a sophisticated chain of ii-V progressions, frequently modulating through related keys (e.g., ii-V to Ab, ii-V to C minor, ii-V to Bb).
  • Features a chromatic ii-V (Abm7-Db7) to Gb major (bIII), adding color and temporary sub-tonicization.
  • Includes non-diatonic chords like Gmaj7 which momentarily disrupt the key center before resolving into a subsequent ii-V, demanding careful harmonic navigation.
  • Incorporates a classic minor iiø-V7-i progression (Dm7b5-G7b9-Cm7), adding depth and a minor key flavor within the overall Eb major context.

Improvisation Focus: Voice leading through chord tones and arpeggios across rapidly shifting ii-V contexts.

Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced) - due to numerous rapid key center changes, non-diatonic chords, and sophisticated harmonic substitutions.
