- Features a prominent i–IV7 movement (Cm7 to F7), requiring a shift from C Aeolian to C Dorian or Melodic Minor to accommodate the A natural.
- Utilizes a ii–V–I progression into the relative major (Fm7–Bb7–Ebmaj7), providing a brief modulation that lightens the somber minor mood.
- Incorporates chromaticism via the bVI7–bII7 (Ab7–Db7) and bIImaj7 (Dbmaj7), serving as sophisticated substitutes that intensify the harmonic tension.
- Employs frequent minor ii–V–i turnarounds (Dm7b5–G7b9–Cm), reinforcing the dark, brooding tonal center of C minor.
Improvisation Focus The C Harmonic Minor scale (to target the B natural and Ab over the G7b9 dominant function).
Difficulty Rating 3/5; the slow tempo aids the player, but the frequent shifts between minor tonality, relative major, and chromatic substitutions require solid fretboard/keyboard visualization.
