- The use of minor ii-V progressions (Fm7b5 - Bb7b9) resolving to a major tonic (Eb6) provides a sophisticated, dark-to-light harmonic tension common in Berlin’s writing.
- A secondary ii-V (Am7b5 - D7b9) targeting Gm7 establishes the mediant as a temporary tonal center through chromatic leading.
- A significant modulation to Gb Major (bIII) occurs via a ii-V (Abm7 - Db7), utilizing modal interchange to shift the tonal center.
- Chromatic voice leading is reinforced by the B°7 passing chord, bridging the gap between Cm7 and the Ebmaj7/Bb tonic inversion.
Improvisation Focus Navigating non-diatonic ii-V-I sequences and the temporary shift to the Gb Major tonal center.
Difficulty Rating 3/5: The frequent use of minor ii-V patterns and the modulation to the bIII key requires an intermediate understanding of chord-scale relationships beyond Eb major.
