The most widely used piano technique book ever written, The Virtuoso Pianist was designed to develop agility and strength in all the fingers as well as flexibility of the wrists. Exercises are sequenced so that in each successive exercise, the fingers are rested from the fatigue caused by the previous one. Translated from the original French, this Masterwork edition includes the complete Exercises 1-60 and is clearly engraved for easy reading. The comb binding creates a lay-flat experience that is perfect for students and performers. Hanon's original introduction is included. He recommends that a student have at least one year of experience before starting this book.

A General MIDI disk is available separately (Item #5715). The disk contains varied styles of accompaniments including pop, classical and jazz for Exercises 1-20.

  • May 31, 2020 Beautiful printing

    I don't have experience with other printed editions of these exercises so I can't compare. I do enjoy the detail that has gone into creating this one. The music and text are all very clear to read. The binding allows it to lay flat on the stand - big...

    I've only worked on the first few lessons, but I can already tell the difference in finger strength. I'm hoping the rest work as well.

  • August 24, 2012 an improved Hanon

    Other editions of this indispensable set of exercises were a little hard to read because of blurred and unpleasant typeface. The new crisp and clear typeface of this edition is much easier on the eye. In addition, the original French has been retranslated into much more idiomatic English. And the...

    price is very reasonable. If you own another edition of Hanon, I would suggest that you purchase this updated and modern edition.

    harp and then nothing due to illness. A book for beginners to the advanced player, a joy to work through with a great sense of accomplishment at the end!
