The hands become capacitive between the signal of the two antennas. The right hand controls pitch. The close to the right antenna, the higher the note. Moving hand or fingers in and out controls vibrato. Left hand controls volume which allows dynamics. Simple in terms of function. Crazy complicated in application. Sort of like a trombone. You don't know where the notes are until you play a note and adjust the pitch to hit the note by ear.
I absolutely love the theremin! In the right hands it sounds so eerily natural yet artificial, somewhat like a mimic stuck in the uncanny valley while desperately trying to become human, and I find that to be so beautiful. I don’t think there is another instrument with so much personality 💞 Bravo Katica 🫶🏼
Seven years ago this and other videos were posted to TH-cam and I’m now seeing them! I’ve heard of the theremin and loving it. It does not hurt that she is also a beautiful woman!
Dr. Termen who invented the instrument was a physics professor at Moscow State University when I was a student there. He also was responsible for granting free access to to musical instruments owned by the University. Like if students wanted to organize a band, they had to perform for him, and he decided whether they were worthy of touching the state-owned property :)
Просто не возможно не восхищаться Вашим талантом ! БРАВО! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It’s just not possible not to admire your talent! BRAVO!
Only you, Katica...play the Theremin so beautifully so wonderfully so Perfect....thank you so much for all your wonderful hard work for you amazing and beautiful talents!
Outstanding! I'm constantly amazed at the songs that can be successfully and righteously performed on a theremin. And of course it takes the skill of a master to accomplish it. Bravo!
come non rimanere incantati ascoltando questo strumento che è una dolcissima voce che canta al mio cuore!che dire della bellissima, eccezionale,meravigliosa Katica,una fsvola! la ascolto sempre anche come validissima violinista,i miei più sentiti e sinceri complimenti alla grande Artista! Geppina, Sicilia,9 febbraio, 2021
As well as its (arguably over-)use in science fiction, you'd be surprised where it crops up - the Beach Boys, for example, in one of their greatest tracks. Wikipedia probably will tell you lots.
This must be the archetypal example of a professional making something difficult look ridiculously easy. I am spellbound just watching and listening and, judging by Katica's obvious delight, she enjoys holding us spellbound with the smallest movements of her delicate fingers. I do hope she has someone to do her washing up. Her fingers are amongst the most precious fingers on the planet. Fairy Godmothers have some clever tricks; but I am sure that they would be keen to add this skill to their repertoire.
I had never heard of this instrument, THEREMIM, and I was impressed, not only with the way the sound comes out, but with KATICA ILLÉNYI's ability to play it!!! FASCINATING!!! I confess that it gave me a certain distress, because I would not be able to keep movements so smooth and precise - I would only be able to play a Rock on it!!! (BRAZIL) Eu nunca tinha ouvido falar deste instrumento, THEREMIM/TEREMIN, e fiquei impressionada, não só com a forma pela qual o som sai, mas com a habilidade de KATICA ILLÉNYI em tocá-lo!!! FASCINANTE!!! Confesso que me deu uma certa aflição, pois eu não conseguiria manter movimentos tão suaves e precisos - eu só conseguiria tocar um Rock nele!!! (BRASIL)
Als Elektroniker weiß ich, dass wenn einer von 2 Schwingkreisen durch Änderung der Induktivität oder Kapazität verstimmt wird, ein akustisch wahrnehmbares Signal im hörbaren Frequenzbereich erzeugt werden kann. Wundervoll Ihre Disziplin, Ihre Liebe zu dieser Technik der analogen Klangerzeugung auf elektronischem Weg. Ich möchte mich bedanken, für die wundervollen Klänge aus Ihren Händen und verneige mich vor Lew Termen und der großartigen Umsetzung seiner Idee die Sie künstlerisch weitertragen. Danke...
Not that you will see this Katica, but you were one of the people who inspired me to play the theremin, (if you do not want to read a whole essay skip this comment.) when I was 8 the Clara Rockmore google doodle came out (2016) and being the 8-year-old I was, I decided to play it. I was so amazed and I wondered how this music was made. then almost 5 years later I googled *Clara Rockmore* wanting to listen to her work. this was the moment I realised I fell in love with the instrument. I asked my parents for my birthday if they could get a theremin, and they did. So i watched a few beginner videos on youtube and learnt the basic chords. then after I learnt that I decided to expand my range of theremin players, I came across this exact work of yours. and yet we are here today, me writing this comment, hoping you will see this. I am here to thank you, Katica, for making my life worth something. PS The good news is I now play in my school band, I play the theremin! Lots of love O.W❤❤
J'ai 77 ans et je suis tombée amoureuse de cet instrument lorsque je l'ai découverte il y a quelques années, suis sur le point de craquer pour un achat de theremine, n'est ce pas un peu tard? J'ai une expérience en Piano, Flute à bec, Vielle, Trompete, Cithar d'orchestre et beaucoup de chant (Passions de Bach, Requiem de Verdi, Stabat Mater etc
Which is more beautiful? Katica's playing or Katica herself? That was amazing - the final note was sublime, and then the vibrato added, just topped it off.
AOS MAIS JOVENS: O IMPRESSIONANTE "TEREMIN" O "teremim" (theremin) é um dos primeiros instrumentos musicais completamente eletrônicos, controlado sem qualquer contato físico pelo músico. Seu nome vem da versão ocidental do nome do seu inventor, o russo Léon Theremin, que patenteou seu dispositivo em 1928. É tocado apenas com a energia das mãos. Somente 3 países no mundo têm escolas de música que ensinam a tocar TEREMIM: Rússia, Japão e Irlanda.
I was impressed by the composition that does not break the atmosphere of music. The great violinist of the live image Thermin 's performance is wonderful. I like playing articulation, rhythm and melody. It matches my guidelines · Direttanto · TS, Including comments on music and movie related terminology. PA · Mixing technique · Lighting operator technique · Camera · Arm camera · Camera split is wonderful. It is still possible to say that it is a musical instrument that was the forerunner of synthesizer of electronic musical instruments It will be a digression but the color of the nice pan separation is red · passion · life force · energy · active · diplomatic · action power · Survival · Energy to live · Physical appetite People full of vitality · Straight and straightforward feeling · Many successful people who can make money · All colors have meaning.
El theremín, originalmente conocido como eterófono, thereminófono, termenvox o thereminvox, es uno de los primeros instrumentos musicales electrónicos que se controla sin necesidad de contacto físico del intérprete o thereminista con el instrumento. Su nombre deriva de la versión occidentalizada del nombre de su inventor ruso Léon Theremin (Термен), que lo desarrolló en 1920 y lo patentó en 1928. El instrumento está formado por dos antenas metálicas que detectan la posición relativa de las manos del thereminista y los osciladores para controlar la frecuencia con una mano y la amplitud (volumen) con la otra. Las señales eléctricas del theremin se amplifican y se envían a un altavoz. El theremín se ha utilizado en temas para programas de televisión como la serie de ITV Los asesinatos de Midsomer. Esto ha llevado a su asociación con situaciones inquietantes. Asimismo, este instrumento se emplea en música clásica, especialmente en música experimental y en música clásica contemporánea de los siglos XX y XXI; así como en géneros de música popular como el rock.
I once worked at a music store and seen the theremin there. No one knew how to play it. It does a great sound with someone that skilled at it.
The hands become capacitive between the signal of the two antennas. The right hand controls pitch. The close to the right antenna, the higher the note. Moving hand or fingers in and out controls vibrato. Left hand controls volume which allows dynamics. Simple in terms of function. Crazy complicated in application. Sort of like a trombone. You don't know where the notes are until you play a note and adjust the pitch to hit the note by ear.
Should life last another billion years, imagine the joy of hearing an intensely musical octopus operating four theremin simultaneously.

perfect! Think it's the purity of tone that let's it sound articic.
Seven years ago this and other videos were posted to TH-cam and I’m now seeing them! I’ve heard of the theremin and loving it. It does not hurt that she is also a beautiful woman!
There is only few people who can play this instrument properly and she is definitely one of them!
May I recommend you look up Grégoire Blanc. A virtuoso as well!! §:c)
@@Harry_pinfield That's becasue Clara as a lot more years on Katica.... more years practicing that is! :D
Randy George does quite well, to. he's ooo6 on TH-cam.
don`t forget Sheldon Cooper...the one and only;-)
@@christinemair8323 Nobody knows.........xD
A spectacular and flawless performance -- no easy feat on a theremin!
Невероятно красиво! К сожалению, мало кто играет на этом прекрасном инструменте. Мне его звучание напоминает пение без слов)
I enjoyed it for many long hours. It is wonderful. And that happy face of the doer. A real masterpiece.
Beautiful, isn't it? First time I heard it, it took me to another universe.
just the theremin is from another universe

I can't believe that I am only hearing this instrument for the first time.............
If you've ever seen any 1950's science fiction movies like The Day The Earth Stood Still or Star Trek the TV show, you've heard a theremin 😊👍🏼

Dottor/Prof. fisica Termen geniale! che ha inventato lo strumento meraviglioso e originale! Complimenti!
Hi beautiful is your music thank you so much ♥️
Nem se perceb se ela está abrindo a boca ou se faz todo o som com a boca fechada. Porém; adorei as gesticulações de suas mãos que muito lindas.
Ela não faz som nenhum
É tudo do instrumento
Strano strumento, ci vuole molto orecchio. Brava!
Very great performance 👏👏👏
Göttlich....................
Wonderful! I notice that Katica'a right-hand technique changed some time in 2015 or 2016. Very interesting.
Lindo demais ❤
Sem palavras! 🤩🤩🤩👏👏👏👏👏👏
Spot on dynamics ❤
i didnt even know that this kind of a beautiful instrument exist until i saw something on facebook.
