Thanks for posting that. It's an interesting article. In defense of Hanon, I have to say my control over the keyboard has improved dramatically since doing his exercises. In addition it's freed my mind up as far as melody experimentation goes as I don't have to think about where to put my fingers, I just sort of wish them to go somewhere useful and they sometimes do. They may have a limited usefulness especially for professional piano players (which I'm not) but they sure have helped me. I think it has helped me develop on the HG as well although I've only been playing about 5 months so I can't say for sure as I have no pre-Hanon experience on the HG.
