"You must not only hit a note, but you must hit the center of it. You cannot register any of your internal emotion at all. You cannot shake your head, for instance, or sway back and forth on your feet. That would change your tone." -Clara Rockmore

Her experience as a violin player really shows through. It is interesting that she reportedly came from a family of people with perfect pitch. Her sense of space (horizontally pitch in her right hand, and vertically loudness in her left hand) must be exquisite.

I learned about this woman many years ago thanks to many of these same videos that are still here on yt. She was a magnificent musician and played one of the most difficult instruments to play actual tunes on. Her theremin was given to her directly by it's inventor Leon Theremin who lived a very interesting life that's worth reading about. Probably most people with access to music, tv, and/or movies have heard a theremin at some point, but rarely has it been used with the same artistry of Clara Rockmore. It's nice to see Google's doodle bringing some recognition to this amazing musician.

Actually Clara Rockmore is very highly regarded as a musical virtuoso. She worked with Loen Theramin closely to develop the Theramin. She then invented the technique to play it that is still taught today. Her later association with Robert Moog led to him developing a commercially available Theramin. His work with that instrument inspired him to push further and invent the musical synthesizer in the 1960's.

@cr4zyj4ck 3 жыл бұрын

The Theremin is arguably the most difficult instrument on the planet to learn to play well instead of just making strange alien noises. There is nothing to give you any cue about where to place your hands other than pure muscle memory.

@@richarddixon70 If you get a chance, scroll up a few msgs, and see her own words, not mine, about Tchaikovsky coming to see her play Theremin in US, and his request that she play Bach for him. She was indeed, and without doubt one of the finest musicians of any era. The only difference is that her preferred instrument was a more recent invention, yet that could not diminish neither her nor her magnificent musical abilities or her astounding and innate way of actually emoting on an completely "electronic" instrument. BTW, as a multi-instrumentalist who has TNTC instruments, including a Theremin, an old Fender Rhodes electric full case traveling electric piano, and one of the earliest Moog synthesizers that rolled off the production line, I'm right there with you on every word. 🤟🎼

Or try the online Theremin by Femurdesign and try to replicate Clara Rockmore's wonderful performance. I can't even play the simplest of melodies with any accuracy (much less feeling) - like the Christmas carol 'Joy To The World' or 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'. I'd probably get a Moog 'Theremini', which has pitch control that makes it much, much easier for new users to play specific notes with accuracy, plus normal Theremin options. Lydia Kavina has a good demonstration of what it can do and gives hope for new users at 6m05s -- /watch?v=8bakI0ITCqQ

I remember learning about this lady, she loved the Theremin and loved classical music, but no one really took the Theremin seriously in the classical world, so she use to only get gigs playing and scoring for horror movies. Her amazing Theremin playing did eventually get recognized and she started to make classical recordings which was her dream for the longest. Very inspirational musician, shows us that no matter what you can always play music your way regardless off what everyone else thinks.

one quick correction... she never did play anything but serious music on the theremin. Those who would score the theremin for movies etc., were others and played by others. She was adamant that this was a serious instrument and never flinched one inch from that pure stance (those who knew her knew that she wasn't the flinching sort on such topics).

My dad just got a theremin and nobody at the house knows how to play it so all I've heard it play up until now is weird farting sloops. Then I sound this video and my first thought was "what the fuck that was beautiful."

How's it going now, is he or are you getting better at it? I'm thinking of getting the Moog Theremini, supposed to make it a bit easier. I'd prefer the sound of an analog theremin though. No one will ever be this good, but good luck!

@@MegaBadgeman I'm a violinist so I'm aware lol! Playing double stops (2 notes at once) is less common in violin playing than single notes. I'm just talking about the overall timbre. People say the same about cellos and violas of course, they're like the equivalent of lower voices.
