Since the first release of this classic Schirmer edition over 100 years ago, almost anyone who has taken piano lessons for more than two years has played from The Virtuoso Pianist . Millions of copies have been sold of these progressive exercises which guide a player's technique, building finger independence and strength. This was the first American edition released of this music, and remains a classic at a remarkably affordable price. Review: Good practice for advanced music students. - Really like this book. It presents some challenges to the pianist which can be easily reworked in different keys and with different tempos. I refer back to the basic exercises during practice as a way of generating interesting melodic progressions. Some of these ideas are not obvious based on the book itself. I had to provide some of my own interpretations to make these melodic progressions work so this book would be useful for an advanced student, a beginner pianist would have a hard time approaching some of the concepts. Review: A timeless piano practice classic, still essential today - I was very happy to find this exercise book from my youth again. Hanon: The Virtuoso Pianist remains a fundamental resource for pianists who want to build strength, control, and independence in their hands. The book offers plenty of progressive exercises that are excellent for developing finger strength, agility, and endurance. It’s ideal for daily technical practice and works just as well for beginners as for more advanced players revisiting their fundamentals. This is truly a must-have in any pianist’s library. The only minor downside is that the paper quality feels lighter than it used to be compared to older editions, but this doesn’t affect the content or usability. Overall, this book is as relevant and effective today as it ever was. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1 in Opera & Classical Songbooks #5 in Piano & Keyboards #10 in Music Instruction & Study (Books) | ## Images ![Hanon - Virtuoso Pianist in 60 Exercises - Complete: Schirmer's Library of Musical Classics - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81u0PYG1eTL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good practice for advanced music students. *by N***S on October 21, 2025* Really like this book.

Something about the repetition feels incredibly relaxing, and I often practice this while watching netflix. I forgot which of the pianists (Liszt?) but there was a guy who used to practice these types of technical exercises while reading a book - that's basically me, but with youtube/netflix. I'm one of those people who don't feel satisfied doing just one thing at a time - it feels wasteful, especially if it's stuff like "watching" something, or only doing something with my hand. If my hands are busy, my brain/eyes need to be busy too, and vice versa. For that reason, Hanon exercises are awesome. The patterns are (so far, only on exercise 6) relatively simple, and it's just a pattern that you play up and down the piano. Once your fingers "get" the pattern, your brain basically goes into this like, floaty place where i just feel really chillaxed. To keep my brain occupied (and stop staring at my hands/keys), i put youtube or netflix/prime video on, and watch/half watch stuff. the book itself is really nice as well for so cheap. the notes ARE small - actually they're pretty much standard, but i think what makes it feel even smaller/so much more cramped is that there are just sooooooo many notes on a single page. The printing seems fine to me though, i don't find it as if it's been photocopied way too many times. I mean seriously, for $6.xx for such a thorough book is an awesome price. And i like that it'll basically last me forever - i expect to be using this for a long long time, regardless of my piano skills. this book is helping me feel motivated to actually practice. the idea of doing the exercises (and being able to just switch off my brain for a while), is such a nice thought that i'd be super willing to get cracking on my practice. As much as I love learning new songs (videogame music!), what's more daunting is having to read music sheets and trying to learn a new piece, as that can be so frustrating. Being able to start with Hanon exercises first kinda downplay the nerves and irritation of not being able to play the actual music right (and i know for real music sheets, it is SUPPOSED to take a while to learn, which i understand, but that frustration is hard to handle. Hanon, since it's not actually hard in a musical-sheet-reading type of way, lets me feel accomplished first). --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/111563247-hanon-virtuoso-pianist-in-60-exercises-complete-schirmers-library-musical](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/111563247-hanon-virtuoso-pianist-in-60-exercises-complete-schirmers-library-musical) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
