Well..as I've just learned that Clara is considered one of the "gods" in the world of Theremin and a lot of thm players are looking up to her so I would be very careful droping anything down on her.

You can find the English, Italian and Spanish versions here!
But I miss a theremin!
Great! This is the answer to what you can't so with a computer. It must be amusing to play around with so many synths as if one could be Klaus Schulze.
