The complete story of Beethoven's numerous settings of (mainly British) folksongs is told here in detail for the first time. The book rectifies many widely circulated myths about how, when, and why the settings were composed. It also demonstrates the extraordinary quality and originality of this neglected repertoire, and indicates how it can best be performed.
