Hanon Exercise No. 41
About this arrangement
Hanon heads this page Arpeggios on the Triads, in the 24 Keys, and marks it a quarter note = 60 to 108. It follows the scales of No. 39 and the chromatic scales of No. 40 in Part II.
Let the thumb pass under smoothly and keep the wrist level so the hand travels without jumps. Practise each key hands separately at 60 before joining the hands.
Start with short loops.
Use the section list as a practice map. Start at 50% tempo, loop one section, then return to the full piece once the hand shape feels stable.
Choose Right or Left to focus on one hand. Wait for note checks the highlighted notes as you play them on the screen or a connected MIDI keyboard.
