The Suite for Jazz Orchestra No. 1 (commonly known as Jazz Suite No. 1) by Dmitri Shostakovich was composed in 1934.[1]
The suite has three movements:
It is scored for 3 saxophones (soprano, alto and tenor), 2 trumpets, trombone, wood block, snare drum, cymbals, glockenspiel, xylophone, banjo, Hawaiian guitar, piano, violin and double bass.[2] The premiere was on March 24, 1934.[2] A performance takes about 8 minutes.[1]
Shostakovich used the waltz in his 1935 ballet The Limpid Stream.[3]
