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.

Debussy. La cathédrale engloutie, in English - "The Sunken Cathedral". Has there ever been a piece written that encapsulates an image better than this one? This was the work that opened the door to impressionism (as much as Debussy hated the word) for me, hearing the distant ringing of bells, undulating waves, even feeling the coldness of the water, there is so much that is said - and it is only said by a piece of felt hitting some strings in the right order and time (and it was said for the first time over a century ago) travelling via pressure waves to our ears. I don't know about you but thoughts like this make me truly appreciate how important music is to the concept of 'being human', and how lucky we are to be able to experience it so readily with the internet. I hope you all enjoy and have a safe start to your June ♥

You may have noticed, but lately I've been trying to introduce those subscribers without a deeper knowledge of classical music to some of the more underappreciated gems as opposed to just uploading all of the overplayed works. Let's make a list here together of those kinds of works for those looking to get deeper into classical music and piano to listen to!

Have you thought of "In the Hall of the Mountain King"? It seems like you haven't made a video on it yet
