The Theremin, consisting of two radio frequency oscillators and two metal antennas, is probably one of the very first electronic musical instruments ever. Invented by the Russian inventor Léon Theremin in 1919.
Clara Rockmore was born in 1911, was a child prodigy on the violin, and is widely considered the most accomplished theremin performer ever. She developed an original technique and fingering system for the instrument which allowed her to perform fast passages and large interval jumps.
Enjoy Clara performing “Habanera” by Ravel.
