- Employs chromatic passing diminished chords ($Ab^{\circ7}$, $B^{\circ7}$) to bridge tonic voicings and $ii-V$ cycles, facilitating smooth voice leading.
- Executes a rapid modulation from the F minor/major tonality to the relative major (Ab) via a $ii-V-I$ sequence ($Bbm7-Eb7-Ab$).
- Utilizes a secondary dominant chain in the bridge ($Dm7-G7$) to establish a temporary tonicization of the dominant key, C major.
Improvisation Focus The F Harmonic Minor scale and the Whole-Half Diminished scale for navigating the frequent chromatic passing tones.
Difficulty Rating 3/5 — The constant shifting between relative major/minor keys and the reliance on diminished substitutions require agile horizontal phrasing and a strong grasp of harmonic verticality.
