Talk:Anton Delvig

"[Delvig] became interested in Russian folklore and wrote numerous imitations of folk songs. Some of these were put to music by the composers Alexander Alyabyev, Mikhail Glinka and Dmitri Shostakovich (14th Symphony, movement 9)." The poem set in the ninth movement of Shostakovich's Fourteenth Symphony is not by Anton Delvig but by Wilhelm Küchelbecker. The poem is only called "O Delvig, Delvig!". Removing this now.

German roots
Sure Delwig was of German origin, the name exists there (Delwig or Dellwig as derivates) and his close friendship with (german) Küchelbecker - as well as his first name "Anton" being typical German but not Russian - all this matches well for the theory. B.t.w. many Germans of the Baltics were part the Russian establsiment and the Tzars court. After Stalin these facts were (like many others) erased from history boards.
