„What your student is already achieving now might match to the then Mozart like the educated language of an adult compared to the babbling of a child.“ A verbal miscue of a far-from-reality teacher-colleague? No, Goethe in original. And the rankings of the decades to come will prove him right: around 1845, Mendelssohn will be the star-composer called the „Savior of the English music world“. But two people observe him out of his own shadow.
