 | | The composer Albert Glinsky chronicles the story of Lev Sergeivitch Termen (or Theremin) and his amazing musical instrument, the theremin, which appeared in 1920 and is considered to be the first electronic music-maker. | | | The theremin worked by transforming into music the electrical charges produced naturally by the body; the machine was worked not by direct touch, but by sensing vibration. |

| | Theremin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Invented in 1919 by Russian Lev Sergeivitch Termen (also Termin, later gallicized to Léon Theremin), the theremin is unique in that it requires no physical contact in order to produce music and was, in fact, the first musical instrument designed to be played without being touched. | | | The instrument consists of a box with two projecting radio antennas around which the user moves his or her hands to play. | | | The instrument was invented by a young Russian physicist named Lev Sergeivich Termen (most commonly known in the West as Léon Theremin) in 1919, followed closely by the outbreak of the Russian civil war. |
