Claude Debussy

Claude Debussy (1862–1918) was a French composer, widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in classical music, particularly in the transition from the Romantic to the modern era. His work is characterised by innovative use of harmony, texture, and form, with a focus on creating atmosphere and evoking sensory experiences rather than adhering to traditional structures. Known for pieces like Clair de Lune, Prelude a l'apres-midi d'un faune, and La Mer, Debussy helped redefine music by emphasizing impressionism, though he disliked the label. His music remains a cornerstone of piano repertoire and orchestral works, admired for its beauty, subtlety, and expressiveness.
