Theremin (etnerofon, thereminvox, literally — «The Voice of Theremin») Theremin<\/span><\/p>\n

Monophonic space-controlled electro- musical instrument, created in 1919 by the Russian inventor Leon Theremin.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the theremin are playing with movements of the hands in the air, near the two antennas.<\/span>
\n Vertical line antenna is responsible for the tone of the sound, horizontal — for its volume.<\/span><\/p>\n

Theremin was the first concert elecrtro-musical instrument. And up to our days theremin is the only instrument in the world, which sound is created by just movements of hands in air — without touching.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks to the invention of Leo Theremin all over the world began to appear new music instruments — so theremin is often called the world’s first electro-musical instrument (which is false), and Lev Theremin is considered the «father of electronic musi»c.<\/span><\/p>\n

Throughout the XX century theremin used in a variety of musical styles — academic music, jazz, blues, experimental music, space music, ambient.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some players prefer to use a theremin as an experimental noise instrument (Led Zeppelin, Beatles, Pink Floyd, Sting,<\/span>
\n et al.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, theremin appears in performative works of P. Granger and various theatrical productions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Notable academic performers: Clara Rockmore, Lucy Rosen, Michael Tulin, Konstantin Kowalski, Natasha Theremin,.<\/span>
\n Music for theremin wrote: Joseph Schillinger, Dmitri Shostakovich, Gavriil Popov, Bohuslav Martinu, Dmitri Kabalevsky, Alfred Schnittke and others.<\/span><\/p>\n
