Harmonic Highlights:
- A distinctive i-IV7 oscillation (
Gm7 - C7) creates a melancholic modal vamp rather than a typical dominant-tonic resolution in the tonic minor. - Features a classic iiø7-V7 progression (
Am7b5 - D7) that firmly establishes the G minor tonic. - Incorporates sequential modulations through several ii-V progressions (
Bbm7 - Eb7,Dm7 - G7), briefly tonicizing Ab major and C major. - These frequent ii-V changes introduce transient harmonic centers, contributing to the tune’s wandering, romantic character.
Improvisation Focus: Navigating varied ii-V progressions by employing appropriate minor scales (Dorian, Harmonic) and their related dominant scales.
Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced Intermediate) – The frequent and sometimes distant modulations via ii-V changes require harmonic agility and precise scale/arpeggio application.
