Charles-Louis Hanon (* 2 juillet 1819 à Renescure - † 19 mars 1900 à Boulogne-sur-Mer), compositeur et professeur de piano français.
Il est surtout connu pour son ouvrage « Le pianiste virtuose en 60 exercices calculés pour acquérir l'agilité, l'indépendance, la force et la plus parfaite égalité des doigts ainsi que la souplesse des poignets », qui est devenu un des ouvrages de base utilisés par les professeurs de piano.

Interest : Skill level : I downloaded Hanon after being
inspired by a pianist friend
in her late 70s. She recently
completed a recording session
and said she prepared for this
by playing Hanon every day.
And as a bonus, she noticed
her arthritis had just about
vanished - a great reward for
virtue.
Interest : Skill level : Here is another grateful
practitioner! A BIG THANK YOU
for this free download of
Hanon's exercises which my
teacher recommended!

Interest : Skill level : You can make these as easy or
hard as you like. These are
definitely the best way to
train your brain to talk to
your fingers.
