If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources. This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: I believe this symphony is notable enough for an article on mainspace. However, the lack of cited sources is a major problem that must be fixed before this draft can be accepted. One of the external links apparently includes information on this work. It would be more helpful to use those for citations here, than to relegate them to external links. JSTOR will possibly have mentions of this work in Music, Tempo, and other specialist journals. An online search also turns up reviews from The Gramophone, MusicWeb International, and ClassicsToday, among others. These could be useful as cited sources.

- Comment: This draft cites three sources – an album booklet, the website of some sort of society dedicated to the composer, and a book (offline, and cited with insufficient bibliographical detail) – which isn't enough to determine whether the subject is notable per WP:NMUSIC (it certainly isn't per WP:GNG).Meanwhile, the vast majority of the content is unreferenced – where is all this information coming from?

The Symphony No. 2 in E minor is a symphony composed by Havergal Brian between 1930 and 1931. The work was inspired by Goethe's drama Götz von Berlichingen. Originally it did not bear any dedication, but in 1972 he retrospectively dedicated it to his then recently deceased daughter Elfreda Brian. It firmly falls in the style of the German Postromanticism, as seen by the eclectic lense of Brian.
