The Virtuoso Pianist (Le Pianiste virtuose) by Charles-Louis Hanon, is a compilation of sixty exercises meant to train the pianist in speed, precision, agility, and strength of all of the fingers and flexibility in the wrists. First published in Boulogne, in 1873, The Virtuoso Pianist is Hanon's most well-known work, and is still widely used by piano instructors and pupils.
This is Exercise No. 2, using just the black keys. This is the 2nd of 20 "preparatory exercises."
You may play either the right, left, or both hands. We recommend you increase the speed after you score 90% or higher. See how fast you can play.
