why "Aeolian Harp" under See Also?
I moved the stubbish list of etude composers into separate section. I think this list could grow into one similar to that of the string quartet article. I suggest it is sorted chronologically by birth date like the string quartet composer list; That way we'll get a nice and natural separation of "technical" etudes from "musical" etudes. Any thoughts? — Pladask 16:58, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)
I think it's a good idea. I'm going to add some of the composers that I found while surfing on amazon.com (according to these links: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10]... more to come) and also some composers according to the regulations of the Val Tidone competitions. -- Missmarple 10:42, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
This looks like it may be a conflict-of-interest edit; the issue has already arisen on CheungPius's talk page. I would say it can go if if it's published and there are reviews available to indicate that it is notable. Otherwise, not. Sorry to be difficult like this, but since we want to be a solid reference source it is necessary for us to err on the side of caution.

Mike Oldfield has a track named Etude on his Killing Fields soundtrack. Is this an 'étude' in the sense of this article, i.e. was it written as a practice exercise? Thanks in advance for answering. Ryancolm 13:48, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
Is the word not at all used in other art forms' context, such as theatre, dance, etc? (In some languages it is). Even if not, should this article perhaps refer to articles on "etudes" in other arts? 90.190.225.121 ( talk) 12:54, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
It is just as common to talk of "the Chopin studies" as "the Chopin études", etc. There's no good reason for insisting on the use of a French word when an English one is available and means exactly the same thing. The article reads as if all these composers wrote "études", but none of them would ever have dreamed of writing mere "studies". Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but that flavour of snobbery seems to be there. It would be rectified if something could be said about the choice of terminology. -- Jack of Oz ... speak! ... 22:29, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

I think this article could benefit from not being as centered on cello, and to some degree, on piano. Violin is the area I know best, and has a large body of etude writers: Kreutzer, Wohlfahrt, Rode, Dont, etc.. Not that every one of those needs to be talked about on this page, but there should be more coverage of other instruments. Paganini's caprices, in particular, are noteworthy enough that they should be in the first section. elizaaverywilson ( talk) 15:56, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
