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).
