Now on her fifth transcontinental tour of the country, MARYLA JONAS returns to New York to give her sixth Carnegie Hall recital on Saturday afternoon, January 27th, almost five years to the month since her sensational American debut.

Marking, as one critic noted, "A thrilling return to romantic pianism," Miss Jonas has, virtually alone and unaided, brought about a revolution in the art of contemporary piano playing. Up to the advent of Miss Jonas' cataclysmic appearance one night at Carnegie Hall in February, 1946, pyrotechnics for its own sake and playing as loud and as fast as possible was the order of the day. There was much dissatisfaction both from public and from critics but no one could quite put a finger on it until Maryla Jonas was heard. Then, once more, as another critic wrote, "the piano was restored to its proper position as a musical instrument" and singing piano tone and touching music making once more came into its own as in the time of Paderewski, de Pachmann and Hofmann.
