The Celtic Beethoven
Beethoven composed numerous settings of Irish, Scottish and Welsh folk songs for Scottish publisher George Thomson from 1809 to 1816. Thomson would send Beethoven the tunes without words, and Beethoven would then set them as chamber pieces for piano, violin, cello or one or more voices. Most people, musicians included, when asked what type of music did Beethoven write more of than any other?.... Most people would not say folk song arrangements....... But, he actually set more than 150 folk songs to music, many of those songs of Celtic origin.
