Abstract:
Along with the pioneering developments in the arts, the 20th century brought a series of new musical instruments, the main innovation of which was the use of electricity for the first time. Employed by several composers, mainly in combination with other orchestral instruments, many of these instruments were gradually abandoned. This chapter examines this first period of new musical instruments, up to the outbreak of World War II, - electromechanical at first, and electronic thereafter.
