  • page 132 first public appearance ... Theremin's Carnegie Hall ensemble, and in February 1931 ... quartet of space-control instruments ...
    "Rosen is one of the most original women in New York's social world," the New York Evening Journal observed ...
  • page 161 1933. Rosen was performing actively around the New York area

    partial transcript, she says "to friends of the Theremin in the East Indies. I know that there is a theremin in India ...
