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.

Without Debussy and his great performers such as Jacques ,
the classical music world would have been very lonely and insipid
Debussy's masterpieces are an integral part of my life

What a underrated piece, i like this one even more than clair de lune.
@jeremy8473
There's many other Debussy pieces better than Claire De Lune.
@knittysong
@jeremy the Ballade is another underrated masterpiece, it's one of Debussy's earliest works.
