The eight movements of Dmitri Shostakovich's Suite No. 2 for Jazz Orchestras are mostly clips from film music from the years 1940 to 1956. Especially well-known from this suite is the waltz no. 2, originally a background music in the movie "The First Season" by Mikhail Kalatozov (1956); The waltz is cited in many other films, such as in Stanley Kubrick's "Eyes Wide Shut" of 1999.
