Hanon - The Virtuoso Pianist Part 1 - Edited by Keith Snell
The second part of piano studies by C. L. Hanon. Hanon’s goal: “Preparatory exercises to acquire speed, precision, agility, and strength in the fingers…(and) flexibility of the wrists.” The etudes enable students to focus on playing patterns with a relaxed hand while supporting the fingers with the hands and arms. They also make a wide range of finger patterns easy for pianists to recognize and execute when learning and accomplishing repertoire. This finely engraved edition eliminates clutter and has logical “turn arounds” as the note patterns change direction.
