Negative Positive
Title: Use with moderation
Review: This book is a must-own for pianists, whether you hate it or love it. As a serious pianist, I practiced Hanon for about an hour a day hoping to strengthen my technique. During this time I noticed an increase in independency and dexterity, as promised. However, after learning the entire volume, I found it very inefficient to practice the entire book through. I recommed that pianists only use the first section for musclar relaxation and practice only the later examples daily. One may also find that at a point it is more rewarding, technically and musically, to study Chopin, Liszt, or other etudes instead.
