Definitely one of my favorite studies!

Here's an exercise that piece works well for (hope this is new for you):

Pick 1 or 2 notes per bar, that make an interesting melody within the study. Accent only those notes as you play the arpeggios, practice that. Then make another, practice that, make another, etc, etc, etc... Pretty soon you can repeat it a couple 3, 4, 10? times and it's always different & interesting. And it helps to develop dynamic control between all right hand digits without doing some boring exercise to accomplish the same thing.

Nice work!
