the great schumann went even further, he put little weights on his fingers every night and they would train his fingers while he was sleeping. He eventually got paralyzed.

@033muil Yep, that's why you don't over do it ^_^ Hanon or anything else should always be practiced carefully.

Yes weights and then later I believe it was the rope pulley that actually was the final straw that caused permanent damage to his finger. He was sure not a dull character that's for sure.

I bought the guitar version of this book a while ago. It's good, but some of the patterns are so damn retarded and complex that it makes you want to throw your guitar against the wall.

[Lypur]

LOL! that's hilarious! yea, things liek that can be VERY frustrating. My advice is don't try to go to quickly. Just go slow and learn one bar at a time.

i wish I found you sooner, I have stage 3 tendonitis. I've been practicing very little with BH and more with just LH. Not able to play which was all I ever did, I dont work just played piano all day. Now I dont have anything to do but watch your videos and hope i get better soon any sugestions? P.S I think i got hurt because my teacher gave me hard pieces i was not ready techical for like exercize books with just octives and hard peices like listz lebistrume. also did'nt play relaxed.

[Lypur]

ouch...

well typing is bad, so is playing, just rest for 3 weeks do no practising, then when you get back into practising, play everything at PP very softly, and slowly, after a week of this then you can play maybe MP but still soft, start focusing on playing relaxed as well :)

I usually work on the first 20 exercises as a warmup or if I am just strapped for time. It really seems to get my fingers warmed up fast. I like them. Jake

There is a repeat sign in the penultimate measure in each exercise. The book wants you to play three different exercises back-to-back with the repeat signs I assume. That takes a long time. I really don't know how to train with Hanon, should I do the first 5 exercises for a week or month once a day? Hanon never gave a syllabus.

[Misscocoberry7]

has anyone on here completed the entire book?

Hi guys,

I wanted to let you know of a cool new piano learning device in Gizmag

Google “gizmag pianomaestro”

[physikphilosoph]

Hi Andrew,

would you use the same fingerings for other scales than the c, lets say A major, or even worse, F# major? Cause Hanon mentions somewhere to play in all scales.

thanks physikphilosoph
