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.

Best listened in a cafe or tea house, preferably in the middle of the rain.

And Saint-Saens is also in this group of great French impressionists, right? Geniuses!

Debussy hated being called a impressionist too.

Je ne sais pas si Saint-Saëns détestait Debussy, mais il n'a effectivement jamais rien compris à sa musique. L'art de Debussy était d'ailleurs déroutant pour beaucoup de ses contemporains. Il était beaucoup trop neuf et original par rapport à ce qui se faisait à l'époque.

And Saint - Saëns hated Debussy
