Os que věem a música em compartimentos fechados, sob a forma de castas aristocráticas, não entenderão o que está se passando, mas também nao verão nada além de seus compartimentos. [Those who see music in closed compartments, under the form of aristocratic castes, will not understand that which is going on, and further, will not see anything outside of their compartments] (de Campos 1993:345).
