Drawing on the original G. Schirmer edition, this new G. Schirmer edition in the Hal Leonard Student Piano Library was created with today's developing pianist in mind. This fresh look at Hanon's popular studies includes innovative student worksheets; 'virtuoso' variation suggestions; informative historical and biographical facts; chromatic-scale exercises, and fully orchestrated accompaniments for each exercise in a variety of styles on CD or GM disk (available separately). The CD includes both a practice and a performance tempo for each exercise. Download a complimentary Virtuoso Variations chart for these Hanon exercises today!
