- Employs an extended sequence of secondary dominants (VI7 - II7 - V7 - I) following the circle of fourths.
- Features a slow harmonic rhythm where each dominant chord typically lasts four measures, providing space for melodic development over non-diatonic harmony.
- The opening G7 (VI7) creates immediate chromatic tension by acting as the V7 of the upcoming C7 (II7).
- Utilizes a standard ii-V-I turnaround in the final phrase to resolve the dominant cycle back to the Bb major tonic.
Improvisation Focus Smooth voice leading of guide tones (3rds and 7ths) to navigate the shifting dominant 7th tonalities.
Difficulty Rating 2/5: The slow harmonic rhythm offers ample time to adjust to each new key center, making it an accessible entry point for studying secondary dominants.
