La dicotomia tra intellegibile e non-intellegibile è ispirata alle prime battute del quartetto n° 19 "Dissonanze" di Mozart, mentre le immagini rimandano metaforicamente a vari aspetti della vita e delle opere del compositore, delineando, in una sorta di rituale pagano, una foresta di simboli nella quale ciascuno è chiamato a trovare, se possibile, nuove corrispondenze.
Remarks about the translation
"foresta di simboli" is related to the famous Baudelaire poem.
The dichotomy between the intelligible and the unintelligible is inspired by the first beats of Mozart’s string quartet no. 19 “Dissonance†whilst the images metaphorically echo the various aspects of the life and works of the composer, sketching, in a kind of pagan ritual, a forest-grove of symbols in which each person is asked to discover, if possible, new interrelations.
Remarks about the translation
I checked out for Baudelaire's poem: chose Roy Campbell's tranlation - http://fleursdumal.org/poem/103
I added "in C Major" to the title of Mozart's quartet but it may be superfluous.

Since "overture" is itself a musical term, it can be misunderstood.
I changed into "le prime battute".
You may say now "by the first bars/measures"
You can omit "in C major".
outlining, in a sort of pagan ritual, through forest-groves of symbols, between which is one brought to seek, if possible, new correspondances.
This phrase is not clear to me.
why through? it seems there is no Direct Object here...
The direct object should be the forest of symbols.
And are "is" and "one" in the correct order?
Shouldn't it be "between which one is..."?
Is the use of "between" ok? I thought it was used only speaking of two or more definite/concrete things.
