There are some Mendelssohn biographers who have succumbed to the temptation of reflecting on “nomen” and “omen”,that is, if “Felix”, the fortunate one, was perhaps too fortunate to become one of the greatest people in music, thus assuming that the creative genius requires suffering, misery, troubles, poverty, failure, rebellion against misfortune and possibly a proletarian origin in order to bring about immortal works of art, that he has “to fling himself between the jaws of fate” in order to be recorded forever in the history of art and the memory of the world.
