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.

One of the best cello sonatas ever written, in my opinion

I dunno, I think Alkan, Chopin, Labor (look him up!) and Rachmaninoff give Debussy a run for his money.

@jean François binouse chopin is inferior in every way compared to debussy

My favorite (so far) is Brahms 1st with Beethoven's 3rd being a close second.

chopin op 65 is clearly better

It's so sad these doesn't have more views or commentaries. I'm a lurker most of the time, so I just view without liking or commenting but to see such a beautifully crafted video showcasing such a beautiful piece is so rare and good, and having it go unnoticed is so sad. I hope you keep these coming, I love them.

No....this took a few decades to 'grow' on me....I'm finally starting to 'get it.' NYTimes' Tomassini was correct in placing Debussy in his pantheon of giants......
