Composed by Bochsa, Twenty-Five Studies, Op. 6a is a set of part of the Favourite Studies from the same author for intermediate and advanced harp players. Reviewed by Alphonse Hasselmans, each studies has a different difficulty level and can be played separately. This set of studies will help the harpist to gain in flexibility and speed, and would ideally be played on pedal harps. In the same series, Bochsa also composed a set of Forty Easy Studies, Op. 318, a set of Twenty Studies in two books and one called Fifty Studies, Op.34. All these sets have been reviewed by Alphonse Hasselmans, professor at the Paris Conservatoire, who also indicated the best finger positions to use.

Ralph Sauer has beautifully edited 14 Bel Canto studies for Tuba or Bass Trombone by three Italian operatic masters: Rossini, Bellini and Donizetti. These studies are in the style of vocalises, (having no words) and can be performed unaccompanied, or with their original accompaniments. The Bel Canto studies are from the same era as the famous Bordogni studies and can be used by intermediate performers. These 14 works are a wonderful addition to the Tuba or Bass Trombone repertoire and can be performed on recitals, auditions and juries.
