This is the fourth volume of a book about the Moscow Synodal choir in the 30 years before the Revolution of 1917. Throughout its history the Choir was successively under the authority of the Kiev, Vladimir, and Moscow metropolitans. The current volume includes the memoirs of the musician, scholar and teacher Stepan Smolenskii (1848-1909). Though it is related to the history of the Choir, it goes far beyond this topic, and covers the musical and social life of the 1860s-1906. Comments, supplements, biographical sketch about and list of publications by S. Smolenskii, name index.
