Following a summary of the observations which suggest that the outbursts of classical Be stars are caused by nonradial pulsations, properties, implications and requirements of a model based on this notion are evaluated. A preliminary analysis of new observations of μ Cen is presented which for the first time in a Be star reveals two relatively closely spaced non–commensurate periods. Such a result would render implausible speculations that the variability of Be stars is due to corotating surface features.
