Harmonic Highlights

  • Prolonged D7sus (V7sus of G minor) establishes an open, suspended sonority before unexpected harmonic shifts.
  • Abrupt, non-diatonic modulation to Dmaj7, creating a Lydian color or a temporary major tonality contrasting the G minor key center.
  • Usage of a ii-V-I leading to Gmaj7, highlighting the interplay between parallel major and minor keys.
  • Classic iiø7-V7b9 progression (Am7b5-D7b9) serving as a strong reaffirmation of the G minor tonality after melodic and harmonic excursions.

Improvisation Focus Applying specific modal scales to each chord quality and temporary tonal center.

Difficulty Rating 5. The constant shifts between parallel major/minor, unexpected non-diatonic chords, and complex ii-V movements demand a high level of harmonic sophistication and modal fluency.
