Vladislav Blazhevich

Vladislav Mikhailovitch Blazhevich. The foreword lists its goals as "1) To give a thorough formulation of the control of the instrument 2) To teach scales and arpeggios 3) To develop relative musicality and technique on the instrument in accordance with the requirements of our time". The foreword also suggests that the student simultaneously "works with Vol. I of School for Legato Development".

First published in 1924 by Muzgiz, School for Legato Development is a legato development with similar goals to those by Fink and Arban. It is designed to be simultaneously studied with School for Trombone in Clefs . The school is divided into 30 exercises, of increasing difficulty and higher tessitura, as well as a page of alternative positions exercises at the end. The unusual metre of many of these, such as 3/8 + 2/8 for No. 2 and 6/16 for No. 4, as well as intense use of ornamentation, constant clef changes and broad range of tempi, suggest sequences would only be useful to an already experienced student. Within Blazhevich's pedagogical style, Sequences lies between his foundational School for Trombone and School for Trombone in Clefs and more virtuosic concertos and concert sketches.

First published in 1935 by Musgiz, School for Slide Trombone is a beginners method, and is distinct to School for Trombone in Clefs.

First published by Musgiz in 1937, School for Contrabass Tuba (in BBb) is Blazhevich's complete tuba method. It is often confused with an earlier work, 70 Etudes for Tuba, which was a 1935 publication consisting of a selection of his etudes from School for Trombone in Clefs, transposed down an octave.

Blazhevich published other technical books, including Etudes for Trombone Vol. 1 & 2, 24 Etudes "Virtuoso" and 10 Concert Etudes with Piano, though these are not published in the West, if at all.
