An etude (from the French word étude meaning "study") is a short musical composition designed to provide practice in a particular technical skill in the performance of a solo instrument. For example, Frédéric Chopin's etude Op. 25 No. 6 trains pianists to play rapid parallel chromatic thirds, Op. 25 No. 7 emphasizes the production of singing tone in a polyphonic melody, and Op. 25 No. 10 covers parallel octaves.

Bach did not set the Ave Maria.  As a good Lutheran he probably would have called it papist Mariolatry.  The setting you are thinking of is an arrangement by the nineteenth century French composer Gounod, best known for his opera "Faust", who took Bach's first prelude from Book I of the Well Tempered Kalvier and added a melodic line imputed from the music.  No doubt Bach rolled over in his grave.

I'd nominate Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (brilliant performer, began composing at early age, left a huge volume music when he died early) or Johann Sebastian Bach (inventor or at least early practitioner of the well-tempered scales which allow transposition into any scale without getting dissonances, as well as a very productive componist). Modern music still borrows from them.

If you mean the composer, he was baptised in Leipseng, Germany, and he looked like well. . . Beethoven. To see how he looked go to New Grove Dictionary of Music, here is a breif summary of him. . . if you need more help, let me know. . . I am a Music Education Major at Brevard College, so I know this stuff..(b Bonn, bap. 17 Dec 1770; d Vienna, 26 March 1827 ).German composer. His early achievements, as composer and performer, show him to be extending the Viennese Classical tradition that he had inherited from Mozart and Haydn. As personal affliction – deafness, and the inability to enter into happy personal relationships – loomed larger, he began to compose in an increasingly individual musical style, and at the end of his life he wrote his most sublime and profound works. From his success at combining tradition and exploration and personal expression, he came to be regarded as the dominant musical figure of the 19th century, and scarcely any significant composer since his time has escaped his influence or failed to acknowledge it. For the respect his works have commanded of musicians, and the popularity they have enjoyed among wider audiences, he is probably the most admired composer in the history of Western music.
