etudes-webtool byMichelleJoy P. Siacor BSEd English


An étude (a French word meaning study, French pronunciation: [eˈtyd], English pronunciation: / ˈeɪtjuːd /), is an instrumental musical composition, most commonly of considerable difficulty, usually designed to provide practice material for perfecting a particular technical skill.

The tradition of writing études emerged in the early 19th century with the rapidly growing popularity of the
piano. Of the vast number of études from that era some are still used as teaching material (particularly pieces by Carl Czerny and Muzio Clementi), and a few, by major composers such as Frédéric Chopin, Franz Liszt, Claude Debussy and Charles-Valentin Alkan, achieved a place in today's concert repertory. Composers of the 20th century variously composed études related to the old tradition (György Ligeti), études that required wholly unorthodox technique (John Cage), and études that required unusually facile technique. (wikipedia.com)

Thus, etudes now are not only for music it can also be used in different subject as long as it requires to master a technical skill.  Skills that only need a great focus to handle and do it naturally.
