Why This MISUNDERSTOOD Waltz STILL Haunts Us
Why is this famous waltz so deeply misunderstood? In this video, I explore what makes Shostakovich’s Waltz No. 2 one of the most haunting and deceptive melodies ever written — how a tune that sounds cheerful on the surface can hide so much tension, irony, and “smiling through tears” underneath. And finally, I perform the waltz in full on the cello. Original video: • D. Shostakovich: Waltz No. 2 - Jazz Suite💃...
