Thus when Shostakovich composed his Jazz Suite No. 2 in 1938, it was for an entirely different purpose and audience from those connected with his Jazz Suite No. 1 of 1934. The work was lost shortly after its premiere, and the eight-movement work currently called Jazz Suite No. 2 is in fact a compilation of arrangements of pieces drawn mostly from film scores. It is therefore fitting that the second waltz from the second suite became the theme music for Stanley Kubrick's final film, Eyes Wide Shut. The eight short pieces are: March, Lyric Waltz, Dance One, Waltz One, Little Polka (there is even an accordion-like passage), Waltz Two, Dance Two, and Finale.
