Did them back in the day 55 years ago. Surprising how they come back instantly.
I really like them bc they are easy to learn. They flow well.
Anyone else play(ed) them?

I went through much of the book with my teacher and recall doing some of them, but it's been too long to remember which or how many.

They are terrific etudes. Technically challenging --some of them quite challenging -- but within the comfortable range of intermediate and advanced players.
I think much of that is to the credit of Edwin Franco Goldman. He revised the original etudes, which were written for flageolet (a type of recorder). |

Did anybody ever set all or some of the Bousquet studies to piano accompaniment?

Well the 2002 version as edited by Claude Gordon indicates that it was a "Tragedy" to make changes to the original. As a result he went back to the oldest versonal available and changed it back to original. He did add footnotes to indicate what Saint Jacome meant. I do not know the status of Goldman's revision. I am guessing his revision went away.
I am glad it is back to original. I really like the idea of playing and reading the book in its original version.
And I know that the latest version of Arban's includes only footnotes expanding on Arbans words.

Not the revisions to the Bousquet etudes. I believe most of Gordon's edits were to restore the original text of the method, rather than make changes to the exercises and studies themselves. |

| I was introduced to them by Manny Araujo, with whom I studied one summer in the late '60's. I have since used them to challenge high school age private students. They are very technical, musical and the range is not excessive. |

| Wonderful set of etudes. Taught me not to practice everything top-to-bottom whenever I brought it out. |
