Fugue of the Volga Boatmen, S. 1-2-3-Grunt

This piece for woodwind ensemble should not be confused with the "Fuga Vulgaris" from the Toot Suite.

No recording is available. The sheet music is available for rental from Theodore Presser.

The Presser page says that "there is a descending 'grunt' added to the serious fugue in the song, giving it a complicated and amusing twist. When the theme is played inverted or backwards, the grunts follow suit!"
