Harmonic Highlights:
- Features frequent modulations, notably a strong ii-V-I progression to Ab major (Bbm7-Eb7-Abmaj7), providing harmonic contrast to the C minor key center.
- Incorporates altered dominant chords like G7#9 and D7#11 (Lydian Dominant), providing rich tension and colorful resolution.
- Utilizes non-diatonic progressions such as Am7-D7#11 (ii-V to G) and a ii-V to C major (Dm7-G7) within the minor tonic context, adding harmonic ambiguity.
Improvisation Focus: Navigating the Melodic Minor scale and its various modes is crucial for addressing the altered dominants and diverse chord qualities.
Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced Intermediate). It demands proficiency in navigating rapid modulations and incorporating altered scales over complex dominant chords.
