- Features a chromatic minor line cliché (Fm – Fm/maj7 – Fm7 – Dm7b5) providing internal voice-leading movement over the stable tonic minor.
- Incorporates a descending dominant cycle (G7 – Gb7 – F7 – Bb7) utilizing tritone substitutions to create chromatic tension toward the subdominant.
- Uses a classic bVI7 to V7 (Db7 to C7) turnaround, providing a strong functional resolution back to the F minor center.
Improvisation Focus F Melodic Minor, specifically targeting the shifting inner voices (E natural, Eb, D natural) to outline the tonic minor expansions.
Difficulty Rating 3 (Intermediate): The progression requires navigating rapid secondary dominants and maintaining harmonic clarity through complex minor-key voice leading.
