- The progression utilizes a chromatic descending bass line (A – G# – G – F#) via B7/A, G#m6, and Em/maj7/G, creating a signature melancholic pull toward the B major tonic.
- The Em/maj7/G functions as a minor subdominant (iv) with a major seventh, a distinctive modal interchange that blends Romantic-period classical textures with modern jazz.
- The sequence B7 to Emaj7 followed by G7 to B demonstrates a sophisticated use of secondary dominants and chromatic mediant-like shifts to re-establish the key center.
Improvisation Focus B Harmonic Major scale (to accommodate the G natural over the minor subdominant).
Difficulty Rating 4 (Advanced) because the non-functional voice leading and specific chromatic extensions require a highly nuanced understanding of modal interchange and linear melodic development.
