Suite for Jazz Orchestra No. 2 (Shostakovich)

Suite for Jazz Orchestra No. 2 (Shostakovich)

The Suite for Jazz Orchestra No. 2 is a composition by Dmitri Shostakovich. It was written in 1938 for the newly founded State Jazz Orchestra of Victor Knushevitsky, but the score was lost during World War II.

After a piano score of the work was found, three movements of the suite were reconstructed and orchestrated by Gerard McBurney. They were premiered at a London Promenade Concert in 2000.

The Suite, in its reconstructed form, consists of the following movements:
# Scherzo
# Lullaby
# Serenade

Until recently, another work by Shostakovich, the Suite for Variety Stage Orchestra No. 1, has been misidentified and recorded as the second Jazz Suite, especially the "Waltz No. 2" from that suite, made famous by the soundtrack to Stanley Kubrick's "Eyes Wide Shut", which now seems erroneously to be associated with the "Jazz Suite No. 2"Fact|date=November 2007.
