See this thread: https://www.accordionists.info/threads/shostakovich-waltz-2.6313/
It's a performance, albeit with a few mistakes, from November 2019.
Feel free to PM me if you are interested.

Not sure about the exact policy on this board. Generally it is a bad idea to post sheet music for compositions that are still under copyright in many countries, meaning before the composer has died 50+ years ago. In this case the composition enters the public domain in all reasonable countries on January 1, 2026. However... only a link was posted so the source (facing copyright violation issues) is a different site.
(Note, Europe and the USA are not among these reasonable countries and have longer terms before music enters the public domain.)
In practice it is seldom a problem (I have a few compositions that are still under copyright on my site, and I assume that the rights holders tolerate this because without my arrangements being available people in accordion ensembles cannot perform it and then the rights holders would not make any money...)

Not sure if you can buy from them in Greece, and I'm can't vouch for whether the arrangement is any good or not, but SheetMusicPlus has it for sale:

This is through their SMP Press program which is legit and actually gets clearance from the copyright holder (and gives them a cut of the proceeds).

Yes, I (naively, as it turns out) assumed that “musescore” was a legitimate source as well.

The performance is very good. However it is not faithful to the score. The chords are incorrect in measures 11-14.
