Reciting Aloud When Praying Alone

Question: I read in Muqadimat al Ghaznawi that in the Hanafi madhab a single man (meaning praying by himself not in Jama) can recite secretly in prayers of Maghrib Fajir and Isha just like if he/she was praying Duhur did I understand correctly? is this realy valid in the Hanafi madhab?
Assalamu alaikum,
The one praying alone has a choice of whether to recite aloud or silently in the prayers the imam recites out loud in (namely, fajr, maghrib, and isha), though the former is better. However, one should not recite as loud as one would if leading others. [Radd al-Muhtar, Ibn Abidin]
Wassalam,
