Overview
Hanon-Faber: The New Virtuoso Pianist is a modern approach to traditional Hanon piano technique, created by Randall Faber. Rather than presenting the complete traditional Hanon exercises, this book selects exercises from Hanon’s Parts 1 and 2 and combines them with new warm-ups designed to develop efficient movement, relaxation, dexterity and virtuosity.
The book introduces students to practical movements such as circles, rotation, opening and closing the hand, helping them develop a more coordinated and relaxed approach to technical playing. Online instructional videos are also available to support learning.
