What is an "étude"?
An étude is a musical composition specifically designed to help performers practice and improve their technical skills on an instrument. It typically focuses on a particular technical challenge, such as finger agility, rhythm, or dynamic control. While études are often used as exercises for practice, many are also composed to be musically engaging and can be performed in concerts. They serve both as training tools and as pieces that showcase the performer's technical abilities.
Example
The pianist practiced a challenging etude to improve her technical skills.
His etude on the violin demonstrated impressive control and precision.
The etude focused on complex rhythms to enhance the drummer's timing.
