HANON EXERCISES - GOOD OR BAD - THE VIRTUOSO PIANIST IN 60 EXERCISES FOR PIANO

[@mkdpiano3665]

Excellent video! Great topic and super informative, thanks for sharing

[@horoffra]

thank you for the comment.

[@SarthakPaul]

I also play pieces and Hanon exercise simultaneously to make a balance of technicality and musicality..I also feel that I am benefited by this exercise because my fingers strength is getting improved day by day

[@horoffra]

Go on

[@MorbidMayem]

It would be interesting to students to watch a video with lots examples of how they can combine Hanon (and other) exercices with concrete “problematic” passages of the piano literature (e.g. when you talk about repeated notes and passages in a Liszt concerto - I myself can think of Gnomenreigen). This is the best way to motivate and give sense to practicing exercises imho.

[@horoffra]

As I said in the video you should not practice an exercise to solve a problem in a peace caus it will never appear in the same form anyway it will only help very little. Exercises increases your technical level in general and helps you then be more able to play difficulties more easily like gnomenreigen. Etudes like that anyway has to be practiced with specific techniques adapted to the work. I could do another video on this.

@@horoffra "Etudes like that anyway has to be practiced with specific techniques adapted to the work." Yes, it would be useful to make a video about this.

[@horoffra]

@@MorbidMayem i put it on my list 😉

[@adrianopiano5551]

Taubman Method is still top

[@niccolomaldera]

First of all thank you for these videos. Please, can you say more about Liszt's exercises (S. 146), historically and technically?

[@horoffra]

He made 3 books available at Editio Musica Budapest

[@niccolomaldera]

@@horoffra It'd be great if you said more about them in a video. Anyway, thanks again and please share your music because I really like your 'tocco' as a pianist

[@chokolattecoffee]

Thank you for this video. What is your opinion on playing Hanon in other keys? What about Brahms, Dohnanyi, Tausig or Joseffy exercises? Have you played double thirds and sixths with Plaidy/Moszkowski fingering?

[@horoffra]

All exercices are good i think,

[@skateata1]

I've lost track of how much time I spent training with that book. I honestly don't know if I really learned anything from it. I am have good sight reading skills, but I have issues being stiff. I was clasically trained for 5 years.

[@horoffra]

Probably you didnt do it correctly and completely, you will not learn to play piano with it but it is a good training for different aspects of piano playing.

[@billligon4005]

What about Chopin Etudes or Scriabin Etudes et al? They are musical.

[@Alkis05]

It is not fair to say that the woman that is good without doing exercises is good because she is gifted, but the prodigy that exercised 5h a day got good because of the exercises, without mentioning that he also might be an exception. To be fair it is hard to figure it out. Academic musicians should put effort into researching that kind of stuff. Look into sports to see what is the methodology they use to make this comparative studies. What is unbelievable is that we are in the 21st century and still debating this, when we should already have a answer as to what is most effective for the average [serious] student. If musicians put so much effort into being good instrumentalists, composers, etc. and learn to do such complex stuff, why don't they put the same amount of effort into figuring out the most effective way to teach those skills?

because no one cares about the next generation. i want to be the best. not make someone better than me. within 15 years ill have changed the landscape of music enough that several several of my students will have surpassed me. u want to learn the best mimick a child. drop any thoughts from some book. if you were even told the best way to learn the piano you would laugh and redicule it and never even attempt it once. practice perfectly while improvising super slowly with a metronome and make sure to start learning to read sheet music in the beginning. not day one but month one for sure. THE NOTES DONT MATTER. how you play them and in what order does. THE NOTES DONT MATTER.

[@Alkis05]

@@daltondammthebabe I'm not even gonna bother responding to any of this, because you are not only wrong, but so trivially wrong that it is not even worth spending the time doing it. EDIT: Good luck changing the landscape of music, though. I mean that.

[@adrianopiano5551]

When I do exercises like that I get slower

[@horoffra]

Maybe you do it wrong and I dont think the goal of practicing anything is to get faster.

Mais... pourquoi tu te caresses le pied ?
