🎼 Sheet Music
Find Lead Sheet on Sheet Music Direct (PDF)Harmonic Highlights:
- Utilizes a #iio7 (Gb°7) passing chord to create chromatic voice leading between the Imaj7 (Ebmaj7) and iim7 (Fm7).
- Employs a secondary ii-V (Bbm7-Eb7) to target the IVmaj7 (Abmaj7), followed by a #ivo7 (A°7) leading to the iii (Gm7).
- Features a radical chromatic mediant modulation in the bridge, shifting from Eb major to B major via sequential descending ii-V progressions (Ebm7-Ab7 to Dbm7-Gb7).
Improvisation Focus: Navigating the bridge’s abrupt tonal shift and chromatic ii-V sequences.
Difficulty Rating: 4/5. The sophisticated bridge modulation and frequent use of diminished passing chords require advanced harmonic awareness and precise voice leading.
