Short musical composition (5)

I believe the answer is:

etude

(Other definitions for etude that I've seen before include "Short composition for a solo instrument" , "Noted composition" , "Chopin study" , "Testing musical composition" , "bit of practice" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard and The Mirror.
