Joannes Rochut () is well known to trombonists for the three volumes of "Melodious Etudes for Trombone" which he transcribed from the "Vocalises" of Marco Bordogni. These books, first published by Carl Fischer (New York) in , were arranged when Rochut was principal trombonist of the Boston Symphony Orchestra ().

Rochut, a first prize winner at the Paris Conservatorie, was an organizer of the first of the famous "Concerts Koussevitzky" in Paris which brought him to the attention of the then music director of the Boston Symphony, Serge Koussevitzky.

• Rochut #8 (f minor) = Bach #9
• Rochut #9 (G major) = Bach #10
• Rochut #10 (g minor) = Bach #11
• Rochut #11 (B flat major) = Bach #14
• Rochut #12 (b minor) = Bach #15

While in Boston, Rochut gave this music to Eugene Adam who, at the time, was playing Assistant Principal Trombone. Rochut inscribed the title page:
