1862–1918

Über Claude Debussy

Claude Debussy was the founder of musical Impressionism and one of the most influential composers of the modern era. Dissolving traditional harmony into shimmering color and atmosphere, he changed the course of Western music. Pieces like the luminous Clair de Lune and the orchestral seascape La Mer remain touchstones of French art music.
