== Information on the person ==
Charles-Louis Hanon was born on July 2, 1819 in Renescure, France. When he was young, he practiced the organ with a local teacher, but it's not known if he received any advanced musical training. At age 27, he moved to Boulogne-sur-Mer to live with his brother François.
Alongside music, Hanon was a deeply religious man. He was a Roman Catholic who was a member of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, as well as a monastic order which gave free education to poor children. He is most known for his book The Virtuoso Pianist, published in 1873. It consists of piano exercises for developing agility, speed, and finger strength. Many of his exercises are used in piano lessons today. He died on March 19, 1900 in Boulogne-sur-Mer.
