		Clara Rockmore was born "Clara Reisenberg" in Vilnius, Lithuania, in 1911.
		By this time, Clara was an accomplished young violinist but as it turned out, she eventually had to abandon the instrument because of chronic physical difficulties and she took up the theremin.
		Clara frequently astounded critics with her theremin artistry because, by the late 1930's, many people had heard the theremin (played by thereminists other than Clara Rockmore) and had come to rather negative conclusions about what was possible on the instrument.

		Clara Rockmore, who lived until 1998, was for decades the world's leading exponent of the theremin - the first real electronic instrument of the 20th century.
		She was called "The Queen of the Theremin." The note booklet has some great photos of her and her sister Nadia as children in Russia in 1918; also a photo of her and Leon Theremin - the non-touchable instrument's inventor - in l930, and finally a photo of the two of them in l991.
		In the 1930s Rockmore's rather primitive early RCA theremin was repaired and modified by Theremin himself, who expanded its range from three to five octaves, made it easier to control, and lowered the instrument's profile so that her hands moving thru the air would be more visible to the audience.

		Clara Rockmore (1911-1998) was without a doubt the most brilliant thereminist ever.
		She took the instrument to greater heights than any other person, and it was in large part at her behest that Professor Theremin made a number of significant improvements to the theremin.
		Rockmore elevated the theremin into the realm of serious music, pushing it beyond being merely a novelty or curiosity by turning it into a legitimate new musical instrument.
