Theremin - Clara Rockmore plays "Habanera" by Maurice Ravel

The theremin is one of the earliest fully electronic musical instruments. It was invented by Russian inventor Léon Theremin in 1919, and it is unique in that it was the first musical instrument designed to be played without being touched.

Clara Rockmore (1911-1998) is generally considered to be the most accomplished performer ever of the theremin electronic musical instrument.

The habanera is a musical style or genre from Cuba with a characteristic "Habanera rhythm"; it is one of the oldest mainstays of Cuban music and the first of the dances from Cuba to be exported all over the world.
