Spannend nein, nützlich ja
Ich habe lange gebraucht, bis ich mich an diese Übungen gewagt habe, aber schon ein paar Minuten machen die Finger geschmeidig. Es braucht etwas Disziplin, diese Sachen regelmäßig zu spielen, aber wer auf dem Klavier besser werden will, ist hier richtig. Gutes Klavierspielen erfordert Finherbewegungen, die diese sonst nie ausführen würden. Ich habe kürzlich gelesen, dass sogar Oscar Peterson täglich Hanon gespielt haben soll.

Bargain educational resource for the price - note the bonuses in the appendix!
I really like this and it is exactly what I was hoping for; if you're familiar with the idea of drumming rudiment books then that is basically what this is but for the piano obviously. The first 110 exercises are basically just variations on the same theme but still a valuable sightreading/dexterity opportunity. Things change gear and get really interesting on page 17 for the thumb under exercises that look like they'll be very useful. A huge bonus i hadn't even spotted is that all the major, harmonic and melodic minor scales are included in the appendix along with major & minor triads, dominant 7ths and a whole load of other useful stuff. Just mentioning since i was about to spend around £10 on a separate book that covered that sort of thing since I am only just accepting the fact it is an important side of learning the piano as a musician rather than just a performer.
