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.

The forceful "God save the queen" at the beginning is amazing
@padraicfanning7055
How does this compare to the Ives variations?
@davidste2662
God Save the King. It was written in the early 1910's, thus Debussy would have been paying homage to not just the piece (which itself is a homage to a Ravenscroft piece) but also the change of monarch from Edward to George.

This piece sounds like a joke that I don't understand.
@umbrellashotgunman
The piece is a tribute to Charles Dickens's first novel, which follows the comedic misadventures of the English gentleman Samuel Pickwick, Esquire. Hence all the goofiness and that "God Save the Queen" at the beginning.
