- Utilizes tritone substitutions such as
Eb7#11(subV/i) andAb7(subV/IV) to create sophisticated tensions and smooth voice leading toward D minor and G minor. - Employs chromatic parallel motion through the
Gm7 - Am7 - Bbm7 - Eb7sequence, necessitating rapid modal transitions away from the tonic center. - Features a stepwise bridge (
Em7 - Fmaj7 - F#m7 - Fm7) using constant structure harmony that momentarily obscures the key center through non-functional planing.
Improvisation Focus D Dorian foundation combined with Lydian Dominant scales for tritone substitutions.
Difficulty Rating 4 (Advanced): The frequent non-diatonic shifts and rapid chromatic ii-V sequences require high-level harmonic navigation and precise modal switching.
