Brahms wrote two versions of his "Variations on a Theme by Haydn", one for two pianos and another for orchestra.  The two-piano version, written first, is not a piano reduction of the orchestral version, nor is the latter an orchestration of the former. Clearly Brahms valued it as an independent piece, perhaps because much of it has a lightness, charm, and wit unachievable by a full orchestra. With the new arrangement by John W. Pratt, Noteworthy Sheet Music offers a chamber music version combining much of the lightness of the composer's piano version with a WW4's contrasting and beautiful sonorities.
