In a jazz context, "waltz" signifies any piece of music in 3/4 time, whether intended for dancing or not.

[1] It is also called "The Farewell Waltz" or "Valse de l'adieu".
The first waltz theme is a familiar gently rising triad motif played by cellos and horns in the tonic (D major), accompanied by the harp; the Viennese waltz beat is accentuated at the end of each 3-note phrase.
