Harmonic Highlights:
- Frequent non-diatonic movements, particularly Em7, challenging a strict C minor interpretation and establishing modal ambiguity.
- The Cmaj7#11 chord prominently introduces a bright Lydian sound, signifying a deliberate departure from typical C minor tonality.
- Chord relationships are often non-functional, favoring coloristic shifts and temporary modal centers over traditional tension-resolution.
- The recurring Em7 and its E natural clash with C minor’s Eb, highlighting sophisticated modal interchange and harmonic tension.
Improvisation Focus: Modal Playing
Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced Intermediate) The complex modal shifts and non-functional harmony require a deep understanding of chord-scale relationships and advanced melodic navigation.
