It's an arrangement of the Sextet for 2 horns and string quartet op. 81b.
Durand must have arranged it from a piano trio version, probably Naumann's, so it's basically an arrangement of an arrangement. No idea where the attribution to opus 83 comes from.
Also, the score mentions "organ", but the organ part is clearly written for harmonium, not pipe organ.
I took the liberty of moving the piece to the correct work page (op. 81b).
