Thanks for sharing your poem.

In the instructional video, Mastering the Theremin, Lydia Kavina is the
performer/instructor. She was a cousin of Leon Theremin and was taught by
him, from age 9, to play the instrument.

Clara Rockmore, also trained by the inventor, recorded a CD, The Art of the
Theremin. She is a different person, TTBOMK.
