The Well-Tempered Hanon (2nd Ed.) | Hanon in 24 Major & Minor Keys in the Style of Bach. (240 pages plus 6-page Preface). This new and improved second edition of the classic BachScholar book is printed in a sturdy spiral-bound edition. Includes Preface with discussions of theory, fingering, tempo, as well as evidence for a long-overlooked error in No. 5. Each exercise from Hanon’s Part 1 (total of 20) is presented on one easy-to-read page that may be played three different ways — major, natural minor, melodic minor — by substituting key signatures. The melodic minor variants (with added accidentals) provide interesting harmonic surprises. Each exercise transforms Hanon’s original into a contrapuntal study in thirds and sixths using invertible counterpoint in the style of Bach. Each exercise includes two sets of fingerings, traditional and alternate (also known as “speed fingerings”). This method is effective for pianists in all stages of development from beginners to concert artists and is especially useful for reading and playing intellectually challenging exercises in all 24 major and minor keys. This is like mixing up Bach and Hanon into a blender!
