His compo- sitions have been performed by the foremost artists in Europe and Amer ica. and he is regarded as no less brilliant as a composer than as a concert artist.
 Among the many encomiums laid at the shrine of the art of which MT. Ton is so happy an exponent. noth- ing comes with more grace than that from the pen of a distinguished Chi cago critique, who says:
 Maestro Yon has passed the ordi- nary stage of the virtuoso organist. He has gone far beyond just the adept manipulation of the modern organ. The remarkable finger tech- nic and the dexterity with which he pedals are but two of the features that stand out in his performance at the instrument. Tone combinations. registration and volume in the man ner in which he produces them are unique, and his complete mastery of organ literature from Bach to the most modern of organ music Is all most uncanny."
