Violin student's assignment (5)

I believe the answer is:

etude

(Other definitions for etude that I've seen before include "Chopin study" , "Testing musical composition" , "(Musical) study" , "Short composition for a solo instrument" , "short musical piece" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate.
