Clara Rockmore’s 105th Birthday

Clara Rockmore made music from thin air. Trained from a young age as a violinist, Rockmore ultimately gave up the violin due to physical strain. This led her to discover the theremin, a gesture-controlled instrument named after its inventor, Léon Theremin. Have fun playing the theremin! Your playing commemorates Rockmore's 105th birthday. 

Bartolomeo Cristofori’s 360th Birthday

You may have never heard of Bartolomeo Cristofori, but you definitely know his invention. Cristofori was an Italian musical instrument maker credited with inventing the pianoforte, or: the piano.  In Italian, piano means soft, while forte means loud. Being able to change the volume was a major breakthrough. See if you can change the loudness of Bart's music!!

Les Paul's 96th Birthday

This doodle celebrated the birthday of musician and inventor Les Paul. Here is an interactive, playable logo inspired by the guitar developed by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee that made the sound of rock and roll possible.
