Scriabin: Etude op.2 n°1 for theremin, cello and piano 19/09/2020

It came to be featured in some really important pieces by composers such as the French pianist/organist Olivier Messiaen (who was a virtuoso on the theremin as well!), and the Russian pianist and musical futurologist, Alexander Scriabin.
