- Utilizes the VI7 (G7#5) as a secondary dominant to create a strong chromatic pull toward the ii chord (Cm7).
- Incorporates the #ivo7 (F#dim7) as a passing chord to bridge the V and vi, adding sophisticated tension to the turnaround.
- Features rapid “side-slipping” ii-V movements (Ebm7–Ab7 to Dm7–G7) that momentarily shift the tonal center away from the Bb home key.
- Employs frequent modal interchange and brief tonicization of F major and D minor, requiring precise navigation of moving target centers.
Improvisation Focus Navigating dense ii-V-I sequences using guide-tone lines to maintain melodic clarity amidst frequent modulations.
Difficulty Rating 4/5: The combination of a 3/4 waltz meter, constant chromatic shifts, and rapid harmonic rhythm demands advanced melodic and rhythmic awareness.
