Hanon Exercise No. 5 sheet music

Exercise No. 5 of Charles-Louis Hanon's The Virtuoso Pianist (1873) takes one eight-note figure, C–A–G–A–F–G–E–F, and moves it up the C major scale one step at a time and back down again, with both hands an octave apart. The right hand starts the figure with fingers 1-5-4-5-3-4-2-3. Play it slowly and evenly first, lifting each finger, and raise the metronome only when every note sounds the same; Hanon's range is ♩ = 60 to 108, and the audio plays it at 96.
