Clara Rockmore studied violin in Leningrad with Leopold Auer, and both
emigrated in the mid 20s to the USA. Her violin career was stopped due
to muscular problems, but due to the fact that she knew Leon Theremin,
who had recently developed his Theremin, she soon became a virtuoso on
this new electronic instrument, performing with the first orchestras of
the USA.
