Playing A Composition: Measures 13 & 14

Alright so now we went through this whole tune through the A section was in, took it out and did a little bebop run and we come back to the 2nd A section which goes out right away. It has a lot of chromaticism in there and this is a quick bebop scale into a different key and then it lands right back here and it is just a nice simple melody. I figure we did all this stuff we should stay in the key of B flat and just have this nice simple melody which goes like this. And that is how it ends so and if you look at the compositional ideas you just have B flat major to the 3 minor, B minor, to the 6 minor. So it is just this nice simple monadic idea, a nice little melody just starting from 4,3,2,7,2. So it is nice simple idea you got rid of the original motif so it starts a whole new section and you notice we have 5 bars so we are going to go over how the 5 bars still works going back to the 1 major.
