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 isn't like other waltzes out there. Pieces like Blue Danube and Tales from the Vienna Woods give big, grand ballroom vibes, but this one. This one is just like you and your beloved dancing in a dark, cold attic with the music on a gramophone.
Christian Vennemann
Such an excellent description! I get those vibes from this, too.
Adamov
You should listen to Prokofiev's waltzes, incredibly atmospheric, full of mysterious, unusual, interesting melodies.

I learned this piece many years ago when I heard my mother playing it. She was a music teacher and she did teach me how to play the piano when I was six.
