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.

I agree to the fullest.. (I do not know the correct English words here but I will try)
He is here for the first time we know really not giving a shit of trad stuff we have learned via Bach etc..
He is literally throwing all that out to make this..
I LOVE Bach but this is really on another planet..
No words are strong enough for this when you know the shit he had to wade through to make this.

music when I was seventeen and,
with very few exceptions, have not
been able to listen to rock and roll
ever since. I am talking many,

my flawed yet rewarding life.
even at the worst moments, I
have taken comfort from this
most beautiful of art forms.

Ahhhhh. Debussy's music recalls for me the sorts of feelings I had as a child when I first saw a rainbow or watched the leaves changing in autumn.

This would have been a gem when I had to write a mini "dissertation" on this piece for Advanced Higher music 😂 Is still very helpful now, thank you ❤️
