Valse N°2 - Piano Solo Sheet Music - Dmitri Chostakovitch

Download the sheet music for Waltz No. 2 by Dmitri Shostakovich, a piece drawn from his Suite for Variety Orchestra, sometimes referred to as the Jazz Waltz. Its alternation between major and minor keys gives it a distinctly melancholic character, while livelier, more accented passages bring a striking sense of dynamism to this traditional 3/4 waltz. Bringing out these nuances calls for an intermediate level of piano playing, making this the perfect piece to develop your expressiveness and musicality. Widely known in France through its use in a CNP Assurances advertisement and as the opening scene of Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut, this hauntingly beautiful waltz deserves a place in every piano repertoire
