Greetings,
In her own words, a brief history of Clara Rockmore's life with the Theremin. Also discussion with electronic music experts Robert Moog and Thomas Ray.
This is a wonderful tale of "crisis equals opportunity" When she ceased playing the violin because of advancing arthritis, Clara finds the perfect outlet for her artistry.
Fascinating!
