| | Lesson Tutor: Classical Composer Profile: Claude Debussy |
| | Claude Debussy is often described as an impressionist composer because of his genius for painting images in sound, and this is perfectly illustrated by the lovely sensuous strains of 'Claire de lune' | | | Debussy was one of the most influential composers for the piano of his time. | | | Fortunately Claude did have wealthy God parents who recognised his musical talent and when he was nine he began musical studies with Madame Maute, a disciple of Chopin, and a year later entered the Paris Conservatoire. |

| | CLASSICAL MUSIC ARCHIVES: Debussy Biography |
| | Debussy referred to himself as a "musicien francais" and he is certainly one of the greatest of all French composers. | | | Debussy is inextricably tied in the public mind with Impressionism, but like many of the painters, he disliked the term and would be more accurately described as a Symbolist. | | | In his desire to move beyond the all pervasive Wagnerisms of the day, Debussy used a new vocabulary including whole tone, modal, and pentatonic scales that were in part influenced by his exposure to the Balinese gamelan orchestra that he heard at the World Exposition in 1889. |

| | Therefore, this was applied by Debussy in his music and that was why his harmony was very doubtful -- parallel chordal movement, unresolved dissonances, strange scales, doubtful tonality. | | | Besides that, unlike Schubert's friendly attitude, Debussy was not attractive to his friends and he was very choosy about his friends. | | | Although Debussy rarely performed in public, his playing style was highly original and new. |

| | Claude Debussy (1862-1918) |
| | Due to certain aspects of Debussy's style, his music is usually classified as a musical counterpart to the artistic movement known as impressionism. | | | Debussy's principal influences included the music of Russia, the exotic colors of Asian music (which he first heard at the Paris International Exposition in 1889), and the ideas of writers and poets like Stéphane Mallarmé, Paul Verlaine, and Charles-Pierre Baudelaire. | | | Born in St. Germain de Fleurville, France in 1862, Debussy studied at the famous Paris Conservatory from the age of ten to twenty-two and awarded the Prix de Rome in 1884. |

| | Claude Debussy - an overview of the classical composer |
| | Debussy's novel methods were to have a great lasting influence on the direction of 20th Century music. | | | He found a like-minded mentor in Erik Satie and inspired by his musical philosophy and the paintings of his countrymen such as Monet, he developed his own style of music which others labelled "impressionism" in parallel with the artistic movement. | | | Debussy's new impressionist style translated well into his orchestral music where the additional colours available gave more freedom of expression. |

| | Debussy remains well-known for his piano music, and his two books of piano Preludes contain much of his best writing. | | | Debussy also fell under the influence of the French Impressionist painters of the day, in their concentration on color for its own sake and the play of light on sufaces. | | | Debussy's earliest works are mostly pieces for voice or piano solo, including the very popular piano piece Clair de lune. |

| | Debussy sketched out orchestration for his Rapsodie arabe for saxophone and piano, completed after his death by Roger-Ducasse, an interesting addition to the repertoire of an instrument more often neglected by classical composers. | | | Claude Debussy exercised widespread influence over later generations of composers, both in his native France and elsewhere. | | | Debussy made a significant addition to the French song repertoire, capturing the spirit, in particular, of the work of poets like Verlaine and Mallarmé, but also turning to earlier poets, including Villon and Charles d'Orléans. |

| | This sonata was one of a series of six instrumental sonatas which Debussy projected. | | | However, his music was probably influenced even more by the English Pre-Raphaelite poets and painters, as well as the poets and painters associated with the French Symbolist movement. | | | These last works of Debussy were composed with great difficulty under the combined duress of the first World War and the cancer that was killing him. |

| | Claude Debussy |
| | Debussy was a French composer active in the same era (1862-1918) as the Impressionist painters, with whom he socialized and with whom his musical style is often associated. | | | Whatever his goals, Debussy succeeded in translating his human resonance with nature into musical form; something no one else had even considered. | | | The sense of Debussy's music is not that he sought to objectify natural beauty, or to describe it via some kind of musical journalism, but instead that he sought to transmit to his listeners the wonder and gentle musing associated with consciousness of beauty. |
