  4. Kurt Blaukopf, Aims of the Sociology of Music (from German to Greek). This is a chapter from Kurt Blaukopf's Musik im Wandel der Gesellschaft (München/Zürich: Piper, 1982, ISBN: 3-492-02523-4; published also in English as Musical Life In A Changing Society: Aspects Of Musical Sociology, Amadeus Press, 1982). This chapter introduces in Greece an important theory of the sociology of music. According to the author, who is methodologically oriented towards an interdisciplinary investigation of the theory of culture, the sociology of music would be superfluous as a separate discipline if the history of music had incorporated the sociological dimension of the evolution of music into its method. Kurt Blaukopf (1914-1999) - professor at the Higher School for Music and Performing Arts in Vienna - had an essential contribution to the sociology of music - and to the sociology of the arts as well - not only in Austria, but on an international level too (he founded the international institute MEDIACULT, under the auspices of UNESCO). The chapter was published in the Greek peer reviewed journal Musicology (ISSN 1012-0203), issue 10-11/1998, pp. 139–147.
