Valse No. 2 de Chostakovitch is a composition by Dmitri Dmitrievich Shostakovich, written in 1938 as part of his Jazz Suite No. 2. The piece is a lilting waltz that blends sombre melodic lines with bright, jazzy orchestration, exemplifying Shostakovich's incorporation of dance forms into his mid-career orchestral work and serving as a frequently performed example of his lighter, theatre-influenced output.
