- The 14-bar form breaks standard 16-bar phrasing expectations, necessitating a strong internal pulse and awareness of the condensed structure.
- Parallel Lydian movement occurs between Abmaj7#11 and Gbmaj7#11, creating a modern, floating modal quality that briefly suspends functional C minor tonality.
- Sequential ii-V movements (Em7-A7 to Fm7-Bb7) act as a modulating bridge, tonicizing the relative major (Eb) via a rapid cycle-of-fourths approach.
- The turnaround utilizes a chromatic dominant descent (G7-Gb7-F7) followed by a Lydian-inflected Emaj7#11, creating dense harmonic tension before resolving to the head.
Improvisation Focus: The C Melodic Minor scale and its modes (specifically Altered and Lydian Dominant) for navigating non-diatonic substitutions.
Difficulty Rating: 4/5: The asymmetrical 14-bar structure and rapid chromatic ii-V sequences require advanced formal awareness and harmonic agility.
