- Features a sophisticated minor line cliché (Am - Am/G# - Am7/G - F#m7b5), creating smooth chromatic descending inner-voice movement from the tonic.
- Employs rapid parallel modulation from A minor to A major, followed by a series of chromatic ii-V-I sequences (Abm7-Db7-Gbmaj7 and Gm7-C7-Fmaj7).
- Utilizes altered dominants (E7b13) and the bVI (Fmaj7) as pivot points to bridge distant tonal centers.
Improvisation Focus Navigating the descending chromatic line cliché using A Melodic Minor while tracking rapid, non-diatonic key shifts.
Difficulty Rating 4/5: The arrangement requires advanced command of voice leading and the ability to pivot through frequent, distant modulations.
