Answer
Lyatoshynsky's Second Symphony was banned by Soviet authorities because it was deemed to be too nationalistic. The symphony was written in 1935, and it was based on Ukrainian folk songs. The Soviet authorities felt that the symphony was too patriotic, and they feared that it would inspire nationalist sentiment among the Ukrainian people. As a result, the symphony was banned from being performed in the Soviet Union.
