Haydn folk-song settings ⟨User:Fynnjamin [#17693]

Yes they're arrangements in the classic, almost obsolete sense - not unlike like Grainger's arrangements of similar material (though less extensive as a rule). Hoboken included them in Haydn's catalogue of works for a fairly good reason. The harmonizations and accompaniment is Haydn, even if the melodic material is largely taken from elsewhere. These are always a difficult call so I think we can have them in both places.

Hmm, I sort of agree in a sense, but it is highly misleading to have them only under Compositions. Hence also the "a" in the Hoboken catalogue numbers.
