Sorry, I did not catch this. I will look into it again, are you sure that they're harmonic minor scales passed exercise 30? I don't seem to recall any last time I went through the book maybe I stopped too soon. I just seem to recall they're all c majorYou probably mean the first 20 "Five Finger Exercices"? They will sound boring even if you transpose them to other scales.
Later in the book, after exercise 30 or so, there are complete scales, with position changes and of course there are harmonic minor scales.
Very efficient exercises - for fingers, not for music - are from Dohnanyi and maybe Beringer, but they sound even worse than HanonMaybe just playing scales and arpeggios will be enough to stay in shape. Or just practice Bach preludes, like Heinrich Neuhaus recommended.
