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.

To those who don't play piano it might seem an over emotional performance, but as a low level wizard watching this grand master wizard perform so well, i can only imagine he's seeing pulsing color and imagery with his eyes closed. Incredible performance.

They should give sore throat relief drops to everyone in the public before every classical concert.
@bilzebor8457
i think most of the people who appreciate classical music are old, that might explain why they always caugh
@GeorgeCQuinton
Bilzebor It is rather the low humidity of air. Even children cough on concerts ;)
@LandOnBolts
in carnegie hall they have a bucket of free cough drops... it makes the performance even more sweet haha
@bEtHaRoO92
1. Theatres tend to be dry, for obvious reasons
2. I will take coughing over the sound of crinkling to unwrap cough drops EVERY TIME

Oh my... I'm literally crying my eyes off. When my grandfather, my hero, passed away in 2011 I made a video about him in Windows Movie Maker. This was the song in the video.. After that my laptop got broken and I lost the video, and this song. Couldn't remember the name and didn't find this.. Now I accidentally got here and .... This is the biggest musical flashback I've ever felt.. Rest in peace pappa one day we'll meet again <3
@TiagoSeiler
That version of the song was included in Windows 7 I think, it's called Richard Stoltzman - Maid with the Flaxen Hair
@Areyy_xd
@Tiago Seiler Thank you sir! It hit me again.. Now hearing the same version that actually was in Movie Maker gave me the same experience I had 2 years ago.. again crying like a baby, oh memories
