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.

"Je ne parlerai pas; je ne penserai rien, mais l'amour infini me montera dans l'ame; et j'irais loin, bien loin, comme un bohémien.."

Pourquoi ces vers d'Arthur Rimbaud ?

This is one of the first pieces ever written that uses a whole tone scale.

The faun is lucky. The fauns love this song and now Debussy is Official Musician of the Fauns.

Debussy is a killer composer. His piano music alone is an incredible feat... but holy damn, his orchestral music. La Mer, Nocturnes, and this! I don't want to question how he came up with this music.

This music is so beautiful I could never use it as background to study... I could never concentrate as the music would just pull me in and get me to that mystifying place and drift away... goosebumps in forearms, neck, everywhere...
