Hanon Revisited - Contemporary Piano Exercises (Based on The Virtuoso Pianist)??

[czernyragtimepianoplayer]

Hello fellow pianists!  I'm Erasmus, a Middle-age, Early Intermediate Level, self-taught pianist....
Now, I have a very 'good' question about this book, can someone out there answer it for me, please....  Thank you - in advance!  "New Modernized Hanon": Hanon Revisited . . .
 *HERE IS THE QUESTION: This seems like it could really help me alot, but does anyone know "IF" there are 'finger numbers' on all of the notes througout the "entire" book??  I sure hope so, as it would make it easier for me to study and work harder at this one particular great Hanon....  Would someone from SMP (www.SheetMusicPlus.com), or someone else out there please let me know by writing a review directly after this one, thank you very much - in advace. Wish you all a great day!

This probably should be in the Student Corner section. Oh wait, it is as well. Or is my deja vu acting up? Ahhhrrrrgggghhhhh.....

Hanon is actually very bad for your technique!

If you really wish to become a virtuoso pianist, master contrapuntal scale playing in all keys, major and minor, separated by various intervals (3rd, 6th, 8th, 10th) using a smooth legato touch.

Hi!  Would you please tell me or rather describe 'contrapuntal scale playing', in other words, WHAT do you mean by 'contrapuntal??  How are the basic 24 Major/minor scales played in the 'contapuntal' manner???  I know they can be played in parallel and contary motion...but I don't know 'how' to play them in 'contrapuntal'...so, would you please explain and elaborate on this very interesting scale playing method, thank you very much - in advance   Erasmus

Learn to play scales in what's called the formula pattern, which combines similar and contrary motion.,

In this video, the person only plays a 2 octave formula pattern.

Learn to play the 4 octave version instead, where you go up 2 octaves in similar motion, then go out two octaves in contrary motion, etc.

Learn to do this in all major and minor keys. Then, learn to do the same thing, but separated by a 3rd, 6th, and 10th.

Also do the same thing with arpeggios.

Focus not on speed, but on beauty of tone.
