There's no record of who specifically asked him to do it; but it was commissioned for a 1946 film, produced by Alexander Shaw and directed by Muir Mathieson, titled "Instruments of The Orchestra," featuring the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Malcolm Sargent. Britten titled the piece "The Young Person's Guide to The Orchestra: Variations and Fugue On a Theme of Purcell."
