Harmonic Highlights:

  • The opening features a distinct chromatic descent of major triads (G/D, Gb/D, F/D, E/D, Eb/D, D) over a D pedal, creating a signature spiraling effect.
  • Classic ii-V-i progressions (C#m7b5, F#7b9, Bm) provide clear harmonic anchors within the B minor key center.
  • Non-diatonic movements, such as the G7 (bVI7) leading to Bm, introduce altered dominant colors and unexpected resolutions.

Improvisation Focus: Chromaticism and the skillful navigation of altered dominant scales.

Difficulty Rating: 5 (Advanced). The rapid, non-diatonic chromaticism and sophisticated altered dominant harmony require a highly developed harmonic ear and advanced improvisational techniques.
