Many a musical composition by Czerny (5)

I believe the answer is:

etude

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

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
