Hanon – Virtuoso Pianist in 60 Exercises – Complete
Schirmer’s Library of Musical Classics, Vol. 925
Since the first release of this classic Schirmer edition over 100 years ago, almost anyone who has taken piano lessons for more than two years has played from The Virtuoso Pianist. Millions of copies have been sold of these progressive exercises which guide a player’s technique, building finger independence and strength. This was the first American edition released of this music, and remains a classic at a remarkably affordable price.

Stretch between the fifth and fourth fingers of the left hand in ascending, and the fifth and fourth fingers of the right hand in descending.
For studying the 20 exercises in this First Part, begin with the metronome set at 60, gradually increasing the speed up to 108; this is the meaning of the double metronome-mark at the head of each exercise.
Lift the fingers high and with precision, playing each note very distinctly.

The 12 Major Scales, and the 12 Minor Scales. Each major scale is followed by its relative minor.
There are two ways of playing the minor scale; we thought it best to give them here after each major scale, leaving it to the instructor to teach them as he sees fit. We mark by a figure 1 the first (modern) minor scale, also termed the “harmonic minor scale;” and by a figure 2 the second (ancient) minor scale, also termed the “melodic minor scale.”
We know that the modern or harmonic minor scale has a minor sixth and the leading-note both ascending and descending; whereas the ancient or melodic minor scale has a major sixth and the leading note is ascending, and a minor seventh and minor sixth in descending.

The 60 exercises by C. L. Hanon, The Virtuoso Pianist, are a classic textbook of technical training widely used by piano students, teachers, and professionals. However, in the hundred years or so that have elapsed since these exercises first appeared, the technical demands made on students and pianists have enormously changed and developed. Therefore, the famous two-piano team of Gold and Fizdale has attempted to bring Hanon’s exercises up-to-date. It is hoped that Hanon Revisited will serve students and pianists as a preparation for the increasingly complicated technical requirements of present-day piano performance and study.
