English: This sound file is a challenge set for self-facing 'The last pearl of Sir Hanon's (Wikipedia introduction:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles-Louis_Hanon) Work - The Virtuoso Pianist in 60 Exercises' (Wikipedia introduction:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Virtuoso_Pianist_in_60_Exercises) in both the physical situation and the musicality for the purpose of piano-education.
Jason, are you crazy? why didn't you state it as just an exercise? With musicality, are you sure? Yes, though I knew many criticisms were there towards this great piano pedagogic work - the approach would be too 'Mechanization' and 'Physiological specialization' breaking 'the beauties of music & piano'... However, regarding with his last exercise - 'Shaking-Fingering Exercise' (In piano classroom, I called it this name), could you hear two harmonic melodic lines are expanding and shrinking throughout its different (4Ds) layers, like the radioactive growth of crystal (Wikipedia introduction: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal)- such as snow-flower (Wikipedia introduction: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowflake#Classification) passing through majors and minnors...? Therefore, I argued this one as a piece of 'Etude' and 'a snow-flower pearl' of Hanon's, rather than an exercise. Yes, absolutely, you can put your freedom of musicality, your understanding of music, your vocal singing, and evenly, modern pedalling techniques..., into this piece after you got it. In its ending part, I am not quite satisfied with its pace, but... Okay... for whole... this time, let me challenge your ears... which could be learnt from Daniel Steibelt (Wikipedia introduction: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Steibelt) The manuscript was referenced from the translated edition (22 times since 1953 year by Renkang, Qian) pressed by China's 'People's Music Press' in 1993. In addition, Could you hear the difference of my English pronunciation in the introduction part? Handsome a little bit, or not?
Oh, these several days, I am trying to learn more... Thanks!
