Pianist's practice pieces (6)

I believe the answer is:

etudes

(Other definitions for etudes that I've seen before include "Set due in short musical compositions" , "Short pieces for solo instruments to show talent" , "Musical exercises (Fr.)" , "Sue Ted over short musical compositions" , "Musical studies" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
