Frenchman Charles Louis Hanon (1819-1900) first published The Virtuoso Pianist in 1874. It became especially well-known as the world's most often used finger exercises for piano after the 1900 G. Schirmer edition was published, translated into English. This new edition has been re-researched, with fresh and easy to read music engravings, and with an historical and pedagogical preface by Matthew Edwards.
