Born 1800–1850
  • Amédée Méreaux (1802–1874): sixty études, op. 63

  • Friedrich Burgmüller (1806–1874): many études, of which the best known are his 25 Études faciles et progressives, Op. 100, and 12 Études, Op. 105
  • Felix Mendelssohn (1809–1847) three études (Op. 104)
  • Robert Schumann (1810–1856): Studies (Op. 3) and Études (Op. 10) after Paganini's Caprices; and the Symphonic Studies (Op. 13, in three revisions: 1834, 1852, and posthumously 1893).

gollark: I mean, *theoretically* they could transfer the hashes or something, but that would require that they both save them in the same way.
gollark: Wouldn't that mean that `find /usr/local -type f -exec codesign -s {} \;` would pop up an unreasonable amount of "sign this" dialogs, then?
gollark: I think it's just Apple trying to get more control of the platform and make it less general-purpose.
gollark: Sounds like it wouldn't really stop malware if it can just locally sign itself, then.
gollark: Walled-gardening, if you prefer.
