There needs to be given credit to the composer Mily Balakirev. In addition, there was a motion picture made in the 1920's with the title "Song of the Volga Boatman."
Anyone have information on when Balakirev composed the song? A date or some more historical information would be nice. Thanks! 66.17.105.226 02:54, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
Would it be appropriate to mention Eduard Napravnik's (Эдуард Направник) Fantaisie russe in B minor, Op.39 in the article on this song? Or perhaps several famous works that include it? It also used to appear in cartoons fairly often, if I recall correctly. I think that is where I first heard the main theme, in fact! Not sure if either of these mentions is appropriate or not.
Is Mily Balakirev definately the composer? The only online reference I have right now lists the composer as Traditional[1]. Also, Niels Bentzon wrote a piece titled "Variations on 'The Volga Boatmen'" Pnorman 08:14, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
