I guess you're in the King version?
#56 is on the Trinity Board Grade 8 study list and I usually opt for it with students.
A great little piece and sits well on the Eb (that all my students use here in the UK!) =)

Yeah, my old K book - that was purchased back in 1974 - is all worn out, but I have a couple of others that arep about mint purchased from that era, which came in the bag pockets of tubas that I bought for resale.
F, E-flat, and C are all easier. I've never played through the book with a B-flat until the last couple of months... and this one is not small.
The ones with double sharps and such help teach me to read and play a B-flat tuba, and the ones in easy to read flat keys, I can concentrate on really clean articulations, since I don't have to think about the notes.
