The interesting Etude Wiki article...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89tude
"Études written in the 20th century include those related to traditional ones (György Ligeti), those that require wholly unorthodox technique (John Cage), and ones that are unusually easy to play.[citation needed]"
Yes, citation needed indeed...

Hi chopinlover01,

Maybe it is referring to the ones by Sorabji? ;)

If you look through the history tab on the WP page, a few years ago this sentence ended: "...and études that required unusually facile technique." I am still not entirely clear what this means, but it might make sense. Someone who understands even less than I do has changed it to nonsense, as so often happens at WP.

Maybe it is a humorist at work.
