Debussy

Claude Debussy, 22 August 1862 – 25 March 1918, was a French composer. He was one of the most prominent figures associated with Impressionist music. The style of this period was known as symbolism, a movement that directly inspired Debussy both as a composer and as an active cultural participant. His music is noted for its sensory component and frequent eschewing of tonality. Debussy's work usually reflected the activities or turbulence in his own life.
