Hi Luca,
Indeed – that’s a lot to think about. The goal is to focus mostly just on playing with ease, and just integrating that new note into the phrase. Where hopefully there isn’t too much thinking required for the previous notes that have been chunked together. And it’s not so much that you should be thinking about the note after the one you’re trying to chain, but I do think it’s important to think about how that note connects to the next one, in that if that note has a smooth connection, it means playing it one way, but if it has a dot on it, or there is some separation between the note you’re chaining and the note that comes after it, you’d play it differently. Does that make sense?
It sounds like you’re figuring out when to use this, and how to use this most effectively though, so that’s great to hear! There isn’t really a one-size-fits-all approach to this, from what I understand, so it’s more about figuring out how/when to use this for maximum effect.
Hopefully you’re hearing differences in your before/after recordings!
