INTERPRETATION NOT AUTHORISED

The archive recognises the piece. It objects to your interpretation.

You appear to have selected a perfectly real resource, then attempted to interact with it using a method expressly not permitted by the score.

RIGHT PIECE. WRONG TECHNIQUE.

Experimental performance is encouraged within reason. This has been reviewed and found to be outside that reason.

PERFORMANCE NOTE

Avant-garde technique has a distinguished history.

Nevertheless, striking a theremin with drumsticks remains difficult to justify on either musical or technical grounds.
Please try again using a method permitted by the resource.

The archive remains broadly supportive of artistic freedom, but would prefer not to have to explain this to the insurance company.
