《Waltz No.2》for Solo Guitar (for Solo Guitar) - Dmitri Shostakovich(1906-1975)

《Waltz No.2》最初屬於 《Suite for Variety Stage Orchestra》（舞台管弦樂組曲），完成於 1938–1956 年間（學界有不同意見，部分歸因於配樂、手稿散佚與後期整理）。

這首圓舞曲因 1999 年史丹利・庫布里克電影《大開眼戒》（Eyes Wide Shut）的使用而風靡全球。

《第二圓舞曲》旋律優雅帶點諷刺，既有懷舊氣息，也滲透出蕭士塔高維契典型的黑色幽默。

Waltz No. 2 belongs to the Suite for Variety Stage Orchestra, written between 1938 and 1956 (scholars debate the exact dating because of lost manuscripts and later compilations).

The waltz became internationally famous after being featured in Stanley Kubrick’s 1999 film Eyes Wide Shut.

Its graceful yet slightly ironic character shows Shostakovich’s typical blend of nostalgia and subtle satire.

Original instrumentation: large orchestra with woodwinds, brass, strings, saxophones, piano, and percussion.

Today, this waltz is one of Shostakovich’s most widely performed and beloved works.
