Chamber Symphony for Strings Op. 118a was arranged by Rudolph Barshai for his chamber orchestra. The original work is String Quartet No. 10 Op. 118. Barshai did not add or remove any measures from the original work. The only major difference is the addition of double bass, and more string instruments versus a string quartet.
