The important thing is that you can play the D and Eb (or D# if you will), at the SAME time. Because BOTH are draw notes. And while I explained it as going from D half sharp to D#,  (for clarity), 'I' would write it as: Ebb-Eb. And remember, it can be done on just about any chromatic. I don't have all the keys, but on the 5 I do have, it all works fine.

We listened to the original and it was in Bb minor. The slur between the E and the F lays out in the same breath direction on a C chrom and you can even play both notes at once to create that dissonance. Maybe it's for the convenience of the accompanying musicians that the tune was subsequently often played in Am.
