Music for the purpose of an improvement in technique have been published for many centuries. These works used titles such as "lesson" or "study", and then later "etude". Some examples of such books include John Dowland's "Varietie of Lute Lessons" and Johann Sebastian Bach's four volumes of Clavier-Übung (keyboard practice). These books often contained pieces in order of increasing difficulty.
