He was one of the most important figures in music at the turn of the 20th century; his music represents the transition from late-romantic to 20th century classical.
Debussy's most dramatic contribution to music history was his disregard for traditional chord structures and tonality. He is one of the most important exponents of the whole tone scale in classical music history. His compositions flowed without a strict sense of metre or rhythm, and are considered the pioneering works of the Impressionist genre of classical music, named in comparison with the visual arts movement.
Debussy's impact was far reaching. His free use of harmony, which often altogether disregarded the concepts of tertian harmony, has been cited as an influence on the rise of Jazz music later in the 20th century.

The more that I listen to to Debussy, the more i hear the early development of jazz and the blues taking shape.

Andrei White True, however, Western composers, especially American folksong writers (such as the pentatonic Amazing Grace), Black American music, and even Europeans like Dvorak used the pentatonic scale since the early 1800s. No one technically discovered the pentatonic scale, as it is a fundamental and primordial scale used since the beginning of civilization
Andrei White
He discovered the pentatonic scale(in the west) and he also was kinda the first to use sevenths and ninths used in such a pleasurable way!

Exactly! I become amazed by his magnificent music every day!
Robin Moritz
The use of pentatonic scales in the left hand reminds me of the opening to the third movement (passacaille) from the Ravel trio, both pieces were composed at the same period. Thanks for sharing this piece !

I've actually never heard this piece from Debussy... I'm so glad I came across it! Love those tonalities.
Performance pianistique
Is it an hard piece? The sheet looks pretty easy but I want to be sure, I need to present a composition made throught the WW I for an exam
fildog
Performance pianistique for those wondering, on the list of debussy pieces by difficulty on pianolibrary its among the easiest at a level 2
Davis Robinson
Yann - Amneo a beginner can play this piece. Just watch out for uneven rhythm areas. I know it's two years later, but I hope the exam went well. :)

I don't think so.
