- Employs a standard I-ii-V-iii-ii-V foundation in C Major, typical of Great American Songbook ballads.
- Integrates a secondary ii-V (F#m7b5 - B7b9) to tonicize the mediant (Em7), creating a temporary shift toward E minor.
- Features chromatic passing motion via Eb°7 to bridge the iii (Em7) and ii (Dm7), ensuring smooth linear voice leading.
- Utilizes a G7sus to delay dominant resolution, softening the cadence back to the Cmaj7 tonic.
Improvisation Focus C Major scale, transitioning to E Harmonic Minor over the B7b9 secondary dominant.
Difficulty Rating 2: The progression is largely diatonic with predictable harmonic shifts and standard voice leading, making it very accessible.
