    Annotation:

    The present study deals with some soundscapes of Athens, namely, music and songs, as depicted in the Athenian literary texts of Michael Mitsakis during the period 1880-1896. More specifically, these soundscapes are examined as an expression of (a) the mixture of the "old" with the "new" in many cultural domains, (b) the social class differentiations, (c) the linguistic aternates, (d) the unformed character of the city, etc. Furthermore, we investigate the representations of the musicians during that period, the ideological struggle that was enhanced by the musical sounds among the intellectuals of Athens, etc.
