Mozart Theremin Concerto

This is the main theme from the "andante" movement of Mozart's piano concerto #21 in C major (K. 467). The theme was used in the soundtrack of the 1967 Swedish film, ELVIRA MADIGAN, and since then it has been called "The Elvira Madigan Concerto".

This is a theremin transcription of the theme played on the Moog Ethervox.

Great job, Peter! I thought the trill was a bit overdone, but the rest was really quite good. Nice job nailing the descending intervals! BRAVO! I think this is one of the best offerings I've heard from you. Certainly my favorite. Thanks for posting it!

@DavesTrumpet Thanks Dave. Nice to hear from you as always. About the trill - Mozart wrote a semitone trill from E to F lasting a full bar (four beats of alternating 32nd notes). I always worry when trying to play this sort of classic baroque ornament on a theremin that it is going to end up sounding like "IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE".......I guess it did!

Lovely. All of you who dare these Melodies on the Theremin deserve high praise... and I thought these machines were strictly for Sci-Fi music and courageous Frenchmen. I am really tempted to buy one. btw/ , is that sculpture on stage left the amp. and speaker? Thanks

[SkitSik]

Coperleaves, you have a great talent! How do you hit the proper notes? You seem to get all of them just right! Your a true Mozart Theremin master! Keep up the great work!

@riotmaker7771 The antenna on the right is the volume, the one on the left is the pitch

[ZKDanika]

wah wah maybe ?

[riotmaker7771]

how does that work

[OhJoyfulBigfoot]

@copperleaves I thought this was great - trill included. But then again, I have no issue with things sounding like "It Came From Outer Space". I embrace the other-worldly quality of the Theremin and, despite my unbridled admiration for Clara Rockmore, have resisted her anti-scifi perspective. All that being said, that's just how a trill sounds on a Theremin, and so? Fine by me.  This is simply expertly played: beautiful. So, bravo!
