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.

This is Debussy at his finest. I’m not a huge fan of his speedier numbers except “Dr. Gradus ad Parnassus, etc.” from his suite bergamasque. But when Debussy employs all those wonderfully rich chords and the player allows the sonority of these chords to ring out it sounds like the most beautiful church bells tolling. Gorgeous.

Beautiful comment. I am curious, what is the name of the painting or drawing in your profile picture ?
@CarlBowlby
@JM why thank you! My profile pic is my painting of an eye which my sister helped me name “Shen”. I’m not entirely sure what it means or where she got it, but it has something to do with her acupuncture work and Chinese herbology. Sry I can’t be of more help but yea it’s my painting. Thanks for noticing!
@JM-ko8qs
@Carl Bowlby Thanks for responding - I found the story behind the title to be very interesting. The eye captivated me ever since I saw it, so it's cool to know that you painted it yourself:')
@kungfuridinghood
It's like watching a lyrics video, but in a language that can say more than any word can, in one dot.
@logantipaza1454
Have heard many, many versions of this (including my own...hehe), and still think this is the best one. Perfect tempo and a lovely sonority. It's actually slow, like it should be!! Thank you.

Wow this is fantastic.
@mlathan475
Beautiful music; beautifully played!
@IMbirdieful
I like how you put the music up. I love watching the notes and seeing the characters spell out the music, as the piano sings :)
@IMbirdieful
How romantic of you :)
