Abstract: Let $ \mathfrak{T}$ denote the full Toeplitz algebra on the Bergman space of the unit ball $ \mathbb{B}_n$. For each subset $ G$ of $ L^{\infty}$, let $ \mathfrak{CI}(G)$ denote the closed two-sided ideal of $ \mathfrak{T}$ generated by all $ T_fT_g-T_gT_f$ with $ f,g\in G$. It is known that $ \mathfrak{CI}(C(\overline{\mathbb{B}}_n))=\mathcal{K}$, the ideal of compact operators, and $ \mathfrak{CI}(C(\mathbb{B}_n)\cap L^{\infty})=\mathfrak{T}$. Despite these ``extreme cases'', there are subsets $ G$ of $ L^{\infty}$ so that $ \mathcal{K}\subsetneq\mathfrak{CI}(G)\subsetneq\mathfrak{T}$. This paper gives a construction of a class of such subsets.
