- The progression utilizes a #I diminished chord (Ebº7) as a chromatic passing tone to connect the tonic Cmaj7 to the iim7.
- Sequential chains of secondary dominants (III7-VI7-II7-V7) drive the harmonic rhythm, demanding precise voice leading.
- The bridge executes a sudden tertiary modulation to E major (the major mediant), shifting the tonal center significantly from the home key.
- The return to C major employs a complex re-transition using a series of chromatic ii-Vs, starting from A#m7b5.
Improvisation Focus: Navigating the abrupt tonal shift to E major during the bridge while maintaining melodic lyricism.
Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced) — The 64-bar structure and sophisticated modulation to a remote key require high-level harmonic awareness and technical fluency.
