ANTONÍN DVORÁK (1841-1904): Serenade for Strings in E, Op. 22 (original version for Clarinet, Bassoon, Horn, String Trio, Double Bass and Piano realised by Nick Ingman [b.around 1948]), Sonatina for Violin and Piano, Op. 22 (arr. string orchestra Ingman), Serenade for Winds, Op. 44 (arr. string orchestra Ingman).

Description: Although two of these arrangements are with no apparent purpose other than to provide string orchestras with more Dvorák to play, one is quite interesting: the famous Serenade for strings of 1875 is possibly an arrangement of a work from 1873 for winds and strings (as listed above). Even if this 1988 arrangment is not exactly what Dvorák wrote originally, it's still an intriguing and fresh look at a very well-known score.
