The current volume includes the correspondence of the musician, scholar-medievalist and teacher Stepan Smolenskii (1848-1909). The first book of the sixth volume includes his correspondence with counts S.D. Sheremetov and chief-procurator K.P. Pobedonostsev. Though it is related to the history of the Orthodox Church choir art, it goes far beyond this topic, and covers the musical and social life of the 1860s-1906 and the place of Church music in it.
