Does anyone have any exercises based off real literature you would like to share?

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.)
