Cheers! Eryn HECKEL COMPANY TIMELINE: Based on Edith Reiter’s Wilhelm Heckel Six Generations Dedicated to Music I am sharing my timeline so that it may serve as an aide in your bassoon studies and personal enjoyment while you read the book. As I read the book I built a timeline of events to aid in my personal comprehension and synthesis of materials. But many of the family members overlap in their work at the company. The book follows innovations in relation to each family member. And as I noted in my YouTube Video- I had a slight challenge following a timeline of events. I recently finished reading Wilhelm Heckel Six Generations Dedicated to Music.
