Harmonic Highlights
- An extended dominant cycle (E7-A7-D7-G7) generates strong tension-release through descending fifths.
- The D7-Gmaj7 sequence provides a momentary tonicization of the dominant, briefly establishing G as a local tonic.
- Modal interchange is introduced via the Fm6 (bIVm6), offering a colorful subdominant preparation to the V7.
- Standard ii-V-I progressions (Dm7-G7-Cmaj7) effectively reinforce the C major tonic.
