Read the special section of Leonardo Music Journal 1996. Leon Theremin, Pioneer of Electronic Art. It is fascinating to compare the state of the theremin mid.1990s with its situation today, and to observe the rapid evolution of the instrument—its design and production, its performance practice, its expanding range of uses, and the remarkable increase in access to information over the past three decades. This section was edited by Bulat Galeyev, a Russian philosopher and the first biographer of Leon Theremin. The collection of articles reflects the Russian perspective on the theremin in the mid-1990s, a viewpoint that was largely unknown in Western countries at the time.
