In this etude it’s important to make a musical line out of the repeating thumb strokes. It’s all too common to just pluck away with no musical thought in the bass line. Since we are using very few other right hand fingers, we should be able to focus on creating a beautiful line with just our p (thumb) finger. After all, that's the bass line! If it's practiced diligently now, your ear and mind will be focused on this for years to come!
