Unusual Musical Instrument. 6" by 8". Alexandra Stepanoff was one of Leon Theremin's first theremin students in the United States. Formerly a concert singer, around the late twenties, she moved from Russia to New York, where, thanks to the local Russian community, she met Léon Théremin. Stepanoff participated in the 1928 open-air concert at New York's Lewisohn Stadium, as a member of the theremin quartet (formed, besides her, by Theremin himself, Julius Goldberg and the Russian emigrant Moissaye Olgin) that played along with the New York Philharmonic-Symphony Orchestra.
