Hmm, the first thing that comes to my mind are Corto's comments on the Chopin Etudes and Nocturnes, in which one encounters many excercises based on them. I believe also (correct me if I am mistaken) Busoni made similar things based on the Well Tempered Clavier. Also Brahms made some amazing etudes based on real music (for example based on the Study Op. 25 #2 by Chopin or an Impromptu by Schubert.)
