Searching through the family archives I found "Le pianiste virtuose" (the virtuosi pianist) from Hanon. It is a book of exercices made to reinforce the small fingers and made the play even for all fingers of both hands. It is dated of 1929. Since it represents a huge amount of practicing, does anyone know this book and could tell me if it is a good one ?

PS: I begun a few days ago and fell my little fingers at work indeed.....

but the sounds are very boring.

Search for "Hanon" on this forum. Brace yourself. Take a week off to read through the posts. Have fun!

Ok, I see that it is a well known method indeed. Very controversial. I think that I will be careful and no invest too much time in it for now... until I sort out everything about it. I just discovered the search engine in the forum. Thank you.
