NEW YORK TIMES&#13;
"The Theremin has neither keys, nor strings, nor sounding pedals, nor any other existing parts, that can recall a modern musical instrument. The infinite variety of sounds, is produced through oscillations of inaudible frequency between two electric magnetic fields of high frequency. When the hands, or any other foreign body, enter the magnetic fields, or approach the antennae, the inaudible waves become audible through the coupling of the two oscillations."&#13;

              <text>"High priestess of the theremin." — These are two advertisements clipped from newspapers/flyers that advertise Lucie Bigelow Rosen's performances specifically from 1952-1953. Both cut-out ads feature the same photo of Rosen very majestically playing her theremin with the exact same quote from "Misteri e Prodigi delle Radio Onde" which basically translates to the fascinating phenomena of radio waves.</text>
