Dario Marianelli - Overture from Anna Karenina 

not technically a waltz in the “3/4 time" Vienese sense, but it’s definitely got that feel

Plus I want to promote this soundtrack and this movie because it was incredible 

I also want to point out that the theme that the piece is based on—the one that the trumpet first plays—is a traditional Russian folk song. You might recognize it as one of the themes from the fourth movement of Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Symphony!
