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.

It was written around the same time as Sacre. Its likely that Stravinsky played him some of the score. Debussy was very impressed by the younger man

Poor Claude - this gem was overshadowed by rite of spring.
Easy 1900s = best era is western music history

Reminds me of Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring." Was this written before or after that?

@Herbert Winter Debussy played the rite WITH Stravinsky for Diaghelev in Clarens Switzerland.
Herbert Winter
On June 10th 1912 Debussy heard Stravinsky play part of "Rite of Spring" at a friend's house. He contracted with Diaghilev to compose the music for "Jeux" on June 18th.
