I think that was an "incredulous" headshake.

Nice to see that the theremin can really be legitimately played, most of what I see is very interesting not exactly pleasing to the ear because of the tendency to play out of tune.

Cool.

Me too :)

Grillo sent me.

Que perfección tiene ésta gran artista con este infame instrumento tan difícil de controlar. Gracias Lydia por este maravilloso ejemplo. Besos desde México

Hmm, just looking at more amateur player that brought me to this video, It is interesting how instead of just moving a flat hand she moves her fingers from a fist position and moves the volume like she is conducting... It almost looks like she is playing a string instrument.

next is playing instruments.... with our MINDS

Lovely job, Lydia. Thank you.

Fantastic! Lehár Ferenc melódiája Thereminen gyönyörű!

I like the music...unfortunately you got the title wrong ;)

It's "Vilia" (or Vilja if you like) from "The Merry Widow"

[JLMoriart]

I'm not talking about the sound of the instrument, only the fact that it is obviously very difficult and so very few can play it in tune.

Good luck with that playlist =)

JLM - Many don't realize the theramin sound became part of our lives some years ago on the NBC network.

It is the signature 'voice' in Mancini's 'Mystery Movie Theme.'

I've created a 'Theramin' playlist for those who wish to find several uploads that will play consecutivlely. I hope to find enough to last for an hour.
