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.

3:21 moments like this where Debussy transports you to a completely new landscape/mood/feeling etc are what keeps me coming back to his music again and again. I love Debussy so much.

That moment is truly something that goes beyond words, mature piano works like this one from Debussy feel intimate like nothing else, it feels like Debussy it pulling you into a world you've always known of in a part of your subconscious, digging into your mind as you just fall asleep in a state of pure bliss
Randy Kern
This is my favorite kind of Debussy—deep, rich, sonorous and colorful. We pianists could sit on those gorgeous harmonies all day
