The Virtuoso Pianist

The Virtuoso Pianist (Le Pianiste virtuose) by Charles-Louis Hanon (1819-1900), is a compilation of sixty exercises designed to train the pianist in speed, precision, agility, and strength of all of the fingers and flexibility in the wrists. First published in Boulogne, in 1873, The Virtuoso Pianist is Hanon's most well-known work, and is still widely used by piano instructors and pupils. This classic Edition Peters edition by Otto Weinreich also contains supplementary exercises by the editor.
