At the time he was active, there was a growing interest in folk music in England and Scotland and a demand for arrangements for instrumental and vocal works. Thomson envisioned works that would be appreciated by amateur performers and commissioned arrangements from numerous composers, including Haydn, Cogelf, and Pleyel. Beethoven was one of those asked to arrange, but he was not satisfied with the \"simple arrangement\" that Thomson demanded, so he wrote an elaborate ensemble work with strings and piano, and also requested a new text from Thomson. As a result, their collaboration lasted from 1803 to 1819, resulting in over 100 works. These are not often heard, but each piece conveys the enjoyment Beethoven had in composing them.
