Hanon: The Virtuoso Pianist
Playlist curated by hanon ∙ 30 slices and 1 musician
Charles-Louis Hanon published his 60 famous piano exercises in 1873, and they’re still used by piano students around the world today. Each exercise focuses on a particular finger or technique — like pinky strength, thumb crossing and trills.
