Clarification is needed. The article implies a couple of times that he was also a musical composer, but it is not clear if he was or not. StuTheSheep 20:33, May 6, 2005 (UTC)

Bely was not a composer, he worked musically in his prose (and of course poetry) and called several early works symphonies. This should be cleared up. He also cannot be called the founder of Symbolism, since "Russian" should be specified and in Russia it was announced already when Bely was four years old. His relationship with Rudolf Steiner deserves mention; he wrote a memoir of it, and spent much of 1912-16 following Steiner's lectures in Europe, and even worked on the first Goetheanum building designed by Steiner in Switzerland. His wife Aasya Turgenieff (niece of the novelist) remained at the Goetheanum, ending their marriage. The reference to neo-Kantianism needs to be limited to Russia, and may not be that important. And the characterization at the beginning of his novel Petersburg as "miasmic" etc. is highly personal and unattributed, and should be removed. I will undertake these changes if they are not controversial, and no one else does.-- jb 03:50, 15 April 2007 (UTC) reply

Comic novel

I was surprised to find no mention of humour in the discussion of Petersburg: This is a comic masterpiece! Also Nabokov's point about the greatness of this novel needs more emphasis, but I'm reluctant to edit, as a non-specialist in Russian literature. I think that there are gaps in the discussion. For example similarities with Dickens and Dostoieveski and with Gogol. Rwood128 ( talk) 15:37, 13 December 2009 (UTC) reply
