Harmonic Highlights

  • Frequent use of ii-V-I progressions constantly shifting target tonics, most notably to F and Eb major.
  • The surprising Gmaj7 chord after a ii-V to Eb (Fm7-Bb7) creates a stark chromatic mediant shift, a signature Michel Legrand harmonic color.
  • Harmonic ambiguity is maintained through deferred resolutions, such as the initial F7 not immediately resolving to Bb major.

Improvisation Focus Navigating temporary tonicizations with appropriate modal choices and chromatic embellishments.

Difficulty Rating 5 (Advanced) - Its rapid harmonic rhythm, frequent modulations, and non-diatonic chords demand sophisticated ear training and scale mastery.
