Clara Rockmore (born Clara Reisenberg, Vilnius, Lithuania, March 9, 1911; d. New York City, May 10, 1998) is generally considered to be the greatest player of the theremin electronic musical instrument since its invention and was without peer in the early decades of its use. While many listeners familiar with the theremin have heard it used mostly as a spooky special-effects device, Rockmore, a classically-trained musician, used it to perform classical works. Under her control, the theremin sounded like a blend of the violin and the human voice.
Rockmore had a number of gifts that enabled her to play the Theremin so well. She had active perfect pitch, critical to playing an instrument that can generate tones of any frequency. She was a child prodigy as a violinist, but was unable to play it past her teen years, because of bone problems due to childhood malnutrition in her native Russia. She had extremely precise and rapid control of her movements, an absolute requirement for playing an instrument that depends on motion and proximity, rather than touch. One final advantage is that she worked with Léon Theremin directly from the early days of the instrument's development. Indeed, a number of refinements of the early instruments were due to her input or were on her behalf.
Rockmore knew how to evoke the music she wanted from the Theremin, and could do so in a way that was considered beautiful to watch as well as to hear.
Btw: In a older golden age. beginnings on this days the Saturnalien! In this days, the slaves was the masters/ Or/ And every individual was "free"! So in this sense....... the pictures and this words, and the times, gives enough, so say, can ever self thinkings, the entrichment idea from this old case.
Aquí os dejo un escrito muy acorde A esta época Invernal…
“Triste Noche de Invierno”
Sucumbí como el cristal al caer, En fragmentos mi alma despedazada, La luna muda testiga del sufrimiento, Da una esperanza en la noche.
Pero era una noche de invierno, Nada calentaba mi gélida piel, Soñé que la luna me consolaba, Pero comenzó otro largo día.
El sol despertó junto con mis ojos, Este me guió al caminar y mas tarde, Oscureció pero la luna era vengativa, Y con terror mi piel palideció, Después sucumbí como el cristal al caer……………………….Fin
Buenas Lunas y que en este invierno un espíritu de paz embriague vuestros corazones….
