Best Exercise Book

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.
