Harmonic Highlights:

  • Frequent use of V/V-V-I progressions (e.g., Bb7-Eb7-Ab) strongly reinforcing the Ab major tonic.
  • Striking chromatic mediant shifts, notably the B major chord, appearing remote from Ab and often resolving to Abm.
  • Brief but impactful explorations into the parallel minor (Abm-Ebm), introducing a melancholic contrast.
  • Non-diatonic root movements (e.g., Gb-F) and sudden shifts demanding close attention to voice leading.

Improvisation Focus: Chord Tone Soloing and Arpeggios.

Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced) - The frequent chromaticism, remote modulations, and blend of functional and non-functional harmony demand a high level of harmonic awareness and quick adaptation.
