Depending on your definition of 'electronic music', the theremin was arguably first - dating from 1920: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theremin

This is not my definition. This is the definition of the press who says that this is the first music on a computer

Yeah, Theramin is analogue input, though the oscillator is electronic. So it is a synthesiser, but if you tried to play God Save the Queen (which uses digital, keyed input in the OP?) on Theramin; It might come out more suitable for Barbarella (Queen of the Galaxy) than Her Maj?
