Almost all of the right-hand phrases in Enchanting Boogie consist of three single notes followed by a four or three-note chord. Do not slur the single notes into the chords.

mp- In measures 17 and 18 (also coda), practice lifting the bottom two notes of the first chord just before plaving the following chord in order to connect smoothlv.
