On pages 108 and 110, the doctor of musicology writes about the importance of Fritz Wurlitzer: 1. "Parallel to his father's workshop, Fritz Wurlitzer was able to develop into one of the most important clarinet makers not only in the Vogtland region as early as the 193Os." 2. "Three moments in Fritz Wurlitzer's work assign him an outstanding place in the history of clarinet making – the Schmidt-Kolbe clarinet, the Reform Boehm clarinet and the German bass clarinet."
