Dmitri Shostakovich’s Waltz No.2

 

is one of the most recognizable orchestral melodies of the 20th century.

The elegant waltz rhythm and expressive melody made this piece extremely popular among audiences and pianists.

This piano transcription by Volodymyr Slakva is designed to recreate the orchestral character of the original while remaining natural and comfortable for the pianist.

The arrangement focuses on:

• a clear and singing melodic line
• balanced accompaniment in the left hand
• logical and practical hand movement
• a full and expressive piano texture

The score is suitable for intermediate and advanced pianists and works well both for concert performance and teaching repertoire.

The notation has been carefully edited to make reading easy and to help pianists focus on musical expression.
