Subj: [kl] Seeking pages from Heckel's book
Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2005 23:56:40 -0500

Hello all

Has anyone a copy of the book by Wilhelm Heckel, "Der fagott, durchgesehen
und wesentlich erganzt von Wilhem Hermann Heckel" (Leipzig, 1931)? I
cannot find it in any of the city or university libraries to which I have
access.

I seek passages from pages 24, 26 and 30 relating to Wagner and the genesis
of the Heckelphone. These passages are frequently quoted by secondary
authors but I wish to see the original text and to have my own translation
made. This is for a paper on the history of the Heckelphone which will
appear shortly.

Whoever has this and supplies it to me will be richly rewarded by my public
thanks in the paper, which is to appear in the upcoming issue of the Journal
of the American Musical Instrument Society. I will be most grateful for
this help and will of course reimburse any expenses.

Many thanks
