He is accompanied on the piano by another member of his party. The reason will be to seduce the government in office (of the progressive party) through its violin. This musical instrument is the body (resonance box), legs (mentonière), neck (arm) and head (cravelhame) of ernesto hintze ribeiro, one of the most important figures of the progressive party. The "music" doesn't work and the public - anselmo braancamp (presidency and foreigners) and adriano de abreu cardoso machado (ecclesiastics and justice), sleeps ("the government, to pretend that it likes it and doesn't hear it, snores").
