130

Étude

[musical score]
18 bars
piano

Composition: 13 June 1852, from the dated autograph. Bizet was 13.

Autograph: S-Smf MMS 323:34, p. 167–68, headed Etude de *** and signed at the end: 'fait le 13 juin 1852 Georges Bizet'. He has added 'mauvaise imitation d'une étude de Ries ça ne vaut rien c'est une perruquerie ce morceau est aussi bête que possible'. Ries's only set of piano études was not published until 2004, so it is hard to know what pieces he had in mind.
