In Bars 3 and 4, a I-7 chord shifts to a V7»9 in the Key of Bo. _ Bars 5 - 7 show a Il-7, V7»9, | Maj progression in Eo. Bars 11 - 13 have a “Key of F” feeling. : Bar 17 creates tension with the G7#5 chord, which is released at Bar 19 with the Eb Maj chord. Bars 27 - 30 use the #-705 and V7.9 chords for the ending climax and beautifully resolve to the tonic.

Bars 1 and 2 are constructed in fourths, built on the altered dominant chord A7.9. Bars 3 and 5 are also constructed in fourths, built on minor seventh chords (C-7 and F-7). Bars 6 - 9 contain a combination of fourths winding around thirds and seconds. Bars 10 - 12 are Be-Bop oriented. (Note the syncopation.) Bar 13 — note the fourths. The last eight bars, 25 - 32, are somewhat unusual; study them to learn about playing through altered chords. a .
