Harmonic Analysis

This progression moves through F (Tonic) → Dm (Submediant) → B♭ (Subdominant) → Gm (Supertonic) → C (Dominant).

An expanded turnaround that inserts a IV chord for additional harmonic color before the cadential ii–V. The extra chord stretches the phrase and adds a gentle plagal quality before the dominant resolution.
