Leplin's second symphony was premiered by the San Francisco Symphony on 19, 20, 21 of January 1966. In SFS’ program notes, Edward Lawton, a professor of music at U.C. Berkeley, wrote: “Symphony No. Two is, as a whole, rich in thematic material, with individual sections containing as many as four separate and distinct themes. Behind them, however, two principal impulses are at work, the rhythmic and the lyric, and much is made of the opposition between these impulses—not only in large sectional areas, but also in short, rapid, dramatic juxtapositions. All of this is supported by a sensitive, natural ear for instrumental color, cultivated and schooled by Mr. Leplin’s years in the orchestra and as a conductor."
