Edited by Robert King and published by Alphonse Leduc 70 Studies for B flat Tuba – Volume 1 by Vladislav Blazhevich contains the first 42 studies out of 70. These studies do not correspond to a method for Tuba and it is generally understood that 70 studies are actually inspired from another piece of work from Blazhevich: 'Clef Studies for Trombone' even though 13 of these 70 studies did not appear in it.

He created the 'Brass Player’s Guide' in the 1950s and developed a strong relationship with Alphonse Leduc Éditions.
