During the 20th century the phenomenon of an autonomous Ukrainian symphony was not recognized widely. Paradoxically it was also not taken into consideration by the researchers of the symphonic process in the USSR. Thus in Mark Aranovskyi's book 'The Symphonic Searches' not one name of a Ukrainian symphonist is mentioned and the reader is led to the conclusion that it lacks symphonists in the Ukraine. Completely neglected were the Ukrainian symphony's historic, social and immanently musical contexts.
