I played this little Elizabethan (Jacobian?) ditty using a variety of articulation techniques, but especially to demonstrate the utility of a fanning motion with the fingers across the edge of the volume loop field to achieve a crisp plucked sound (when that seems desirable.) Listen especially to the first note and to the leading notes of the first few little phrases.

Shouldn’t this technique become a standard for theremin players?
