Concentrate on the scales--major & minor, the "returning" arpeggiated section, and the scales in thirds first. Those sections are the most important part of the book and when you master them, then worry about the rest. After 40 yrs, I'm still trying to "master" those sections--but I've gotten "good" enough to try the rest LOL. Trying to learn the "whole book" at first setting is not a realistic goal to set for yourself. And remember, most music is primarily composed using scales, arpeggios and a variety of intervals, the third being the most common. By mastering all the scales and arpeggios in "The Book", playing real music becomes less a challenge and a lot more fun. The reverse process--music to learn scales,etc--is not as productive nor practical.
