"Beethoven's seventy-two settings of traditional Irish airs [...] were comissioned [...] by the Scottish editor and publisher, George Thomson, who sent airs, but no texts, to Beethoven. Poetry, mostly by less well-known poets, was attached to the finished settings before publication by Thomson [...] In this edition [...] Tomás Ó Súilleabháin selected texts, mostly by Burns and Moore, which he felt were more appropriate to the airs and to Beethoven's settings"--Back cover.
