Harmonic Highlights:
- Employs chromatic major chord parallelism (Emaj7 to Ebmaj7) for non-diatonic movement, creating a distinct Jobim-esque color.
- Features extensive use of altered dominant chords (D7b9/F#, A13#9), heightening harmonic tension within functional progressions.
- Incorporates tritone substitution (Ab7#11) as an altered dominant, typically leading to the tonic or a related chord.
- Showcases brief, temporary tonicizations (e.g., Dmaj7 preceded by A13#9) outside the primary G minor key center.
Improvisation Focus: Melodic Minor scale and its modes.
Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced Intermediate). The frequent chromaticism, altered dominants, and brief modulations demand a sophisticated harmonic understanding and strong ear.
