  • Strong dominant function leading towards the tonic (E7sus-E7), followed by major tonicizations of the dominant (E, Emaj7, E6).
  • Frequent tonicization of the dominant key (E major) through a clear ii-V-I progression (F#m7-B7-E).
  • Incorporation of a tritone substitution (Bb7#11 for E7), introducing a Lydian dominant sound and bluesy inflection.
  • Chromatic pre-dominant movement with Fø7 leading into F#m7, creating a semi-tone upward shift before the ii-V-I to E.

Improvisation Focus: A melodic minor and its related modes.

Difficulty Rating: 3 (Intermediate). The piece features clear functional harmony but includes modulations to the dominant and a tritone substitution, requiring adaptable soloing.
