Harmonic Highlights:
- The
Ebm7(minor iv) resolving toBbmaj7/Dprovides a distinct melancholic color and chromatic embellishment. - Secondary dominants like
G7#9(V/ii) create tension and effectively lead to diatonic minor chords (Cm7). - The
Fm7-Bb7ii-V progression briefly tonicizesEb major, diversifying the harmonic landscape. - The
Em7b5toEbm7chromatic shift offers sophisticated inner voice leading and harmonic interest before resolution.
Improvisation Focus: The Melodic Minor scale and its various modes for altered dominant and chromatic minor chords.
Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced Intermediate). The inclusion of complex chromatic minor chords and altered dominants requires a solid understanding of advanced harmonic substitution and altered scale application.
