- Transitions between the relative major (Ebmaj7) and tonic minor (Cm7) via secondary dominants like C7#9 leading to Fm7.
- Employs functional ii-V-I sequences in both Eb major and C minor, requiring mastery of both natural and harmonic minor scales.
- Features a pivotal modal shift from Cm7 to Cmaj7, brightening the harmonic landscape before returning to the dominant.
- Incorporates V/V extensions (F7) and minor ii-V-i (Dm7b5-G7-Cm7) turnarounds to define the C minor key center.
Improvisation Focus Voice leading through major and minor ii-V-I progressions.
Difficulty Rating 3/5: The challenge lies in fluidly navigating frequent shifts between relative major and minor tonalities and their respective functional vocabularies.
