Achille-Claude Debussy pronounced [aʃil klod dəbysi] August 22 March 25 ) was a French composer . Along with Maurice Ravel he is considered the most prominent figure working within the style commonly referred to as Impressionist music , though he himself intensely disliked the term when applied to his compositions. Debussy was not only among the most important of all French composers but also a central figure in all European music at the turn of the twentieth century. Debussy's music virtually defines the transition from late- Romantic music to twentieth century modernist music . In French literary circles, the style of this period was known as Symbolism , a movement that directly inspired Debussy both as a composer and as an active cultural participant.

Contents Sourced The Life of the Creative Spirit Unsourced Quotes about Debussy ... edit Sourced I love music passionately. And because l love it, I try to free it from barren traditions that stifle it. The colour of my soul is iron-grey and sad bats wheel about the steeple of my dreams. Letter to Ernest Chausson I confess that I am no longer thinking in musical terms, or at least not much, even though I believe with all my heart that Music remains for all time the finest means of expression we have. It’s just that I find the actual pieces — whether they’re old or modern, which is in any case merely a matter of dates — so totally poverty-stricken, manifesting an inability to see beyond the work-table. They smell of the lamp, not of the sun. And then, overshadowing everything, there’s the desire to amaze one’s colleagues with arresting harmonies, quite unnecessary for the most part. In short, these days especially, music is devoid of emotional impact. I feel that, without descending to the level of the gossip column or the novel, it should be possible to solve the problem somehow.

He made his music very different from the Romantic style that other composers were using at the time. He is often called an Impressionistic composer because he was influenced by the group of painters called “Impressionists”. They were not so much interested in making their paintings look exactly like the real world, but preferred to paint things such as the effect of the sunlight shining on water . Debussy often did this in his music, which creates a special atmosphere.

Composers Claude Debussy (1862 - 1918) Claude Debussy was a French composer responsible for helping to define European classical music. He is acknowledged as the creator of the impressionist music style, although he did not believe in the existence of this type of music. Debussy was a critical force in music at the turn of the last century, and his music is a bridge between the late romantic period and 20th Century modern music. In 1888 and 1889, Debussy visited Bayreuth and learned about the operas of Wagner, which were highly influential in his compositional style. When he returned to Paris in 1889, he heard different types of music and started to blend light-hearted styles with the seriousness heard in Wagner in his own compositions. In the 1890's, Debussy began to truly find his musical voice apart from the styles he borrowed from other Romantic composers. As a response to the complex, heavily emotional music of late romantic period composers like Wagner and Bayreuth, Debussy decided to explore the use of smaller and simpler musical structures. His String Quartet in G minor, written in 1893 was a simple introduction to the composer's later works. He used many standard musical forms of expression in this piece in order to create melodies that drifted and felt other-worldly. Debussy's work as he attempted to find his true form of expression used many of the elements of symbolist poet Stephane Mallarme. Many of the composer's most famous works, including his renowned Prelude paid homage to the simplistic poetic structure of symbolism. His work was a direct argument against the full-bodied sound of orchestral works of that time. Written for a small ensemble, it highlighted the unique tones of different instruments. Debussy's contemporary Paul Dukas was blown away by the Prelude, but it provoked a negative response at its premiere from other composers. French composer Camille Saint-Saens described the piece as being pretty, but without style. Still, the piece began Debussy's career and thrust him into the limelight.
