2.44Level 16 — Add a turnaround
At the end of the form, instead of simply holding Gm, create motion back to the beginning.
You might use a turnaround that points toward Cm7.
For example:
Gm → A7 → Dm7♭5/G?
But don't invent complexity blindly.
The most useful practical principle is:
find the dominant of the next starting chord.
Next chord is Cm7.
Dominant of C = G7.
So use some form of:
Gm → G7 → Cm7
if melody/form permits.
That G7 turns G from minor tonic into dominant of C.
Very effective.
