In consequence, one must study the piano for eight or ten years before venturing to perform a piece of any difficulty, even at a gathering of amateurs. Now, how few persons are in a position to devote so many years to this study!'...

The Man Behind The Virtuoso Pianist: Charles-Louis Hanon's Life and Works
By Andrew Adams and Bradley Martin
'Though Charles-Louis Hanon has been known around the world for more than a century—most notably from his last name emblazoned on the front of the Schirmer edition of his piano exercises—his life and other works have largely been ignored in the scholarly literature. As we approach the bicentenary of his birth, the time has come not only to examine Hanon’s place in piano pedagogy, but also to explore the life of this quiet, devout man'...

This web site is fantastic! Before finding this I tried to order Hu F'lhong Dong's recording, Constance Keene's 1959 recording, & Steven Mayer's 1999 Mannes College Summer Piano Institute recording of C.L. Hanon The Virtuoso Pianist in 60 Exercises, all to no avail! I just wanted to hear what they are "supposed" to sound like. Then I just happened to stumble apon this. Amazing! This web site will be a great aid to my practice! I look forward to parts II & III. Thank you so much!

My organ teacher recommended the Hanon exercises to me. I am her only Yamaha & Kimball organ student now. Other students are into electric pianos and keyboards. I still appreciate the organ and wish the local roller rink would go back to waltzes and organ music.
Thanks for setting up the website. The play-along tracks in all keys are a great idea.
