in musical acoustics.


Bibliography collected by
Alexander Galembo


INTRODUCTION:

The former isolation of Russia has made many scientific works and results unknown to researchers in the Western countries. If you want to read more about brilliant inventor Lev Termen with his "theremin" - the first application of electronic technology to musical art, and about other talented scientists from the Russia and the Soviet Union who provided a valuable contribution to Musical Acoustics, please read a more detailed paper published in English in 1996:

Alexander Galembo (1996). "Russian (Soviet) Contribution to Musical Acoustics," Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, v. 98, No. 6, pp. 3071-3079.
