Cadenza II V I, a study companion

Thanks for sharing Leo... cute "a study companion"

An interesting piece of work. To this, one could combine a solution that has been proposed to me by several teachers: the study of a standard in all keys; for example, the infamous Autumn Leaves, which contains a major II V I and a minor one, in addition to some other simple harmonic solutions, would allow for the study of the aforementioned cadences contextualized within a harmonic environment rather than simply placed in sequence.

For the work in twelve keys, I chose "Lady Bird" as the first piece, since it has 16 bars and is easier to transpose. Secondly, I tackled "but not for me", a standard that is also quite common in the harmonic progressions it uses.

A few months ago, I wrote a list of 100 standards to study divided into groups, based on difficulty. If you are interested, you can find it here:
