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.

Reflets dans l'eau - in English, "Reflections in the water", one of Debussy's most spectacular concert works, and one of the best examples of his structural marvel. Starting off his Images, this piece contains some of the most vivid imagery of water in the entire piano repertoire, you can really hear all of the ripples and waves. The original (and forever lost) version of this piece was scrapped by Debussy, and he ended up rewriting the entire thing again in only three days - I can't help be fascinated at how that original version sounded, but we will never know. Hope you have a great week ♥
