Claude Debussy.

Claude Debussy (French: Achille Claude Debussy,1862-1965438+March 25th, 2008), a Frenchman, was an influential composer and innovator in the European music field at the end of19th century and the beginning of 20th century, and also the originator of modern impressionist music.

After 1890, Debussy met the symbolic poet Malamei, and he joined the Paris Literature Salon headed by Malamei. Here, Debussy met many young artists. He often attended their art discussion parties, and some brand-new artistic views and ideas of these artists deeply influenced Debussy.

He began to appreciate their poems and compose music for them. At this time, his music has begun to have the color of "impressionism" and gradually developed into his final overall artistic style.

Extended data

Debussy's music is far from classical music. In his works, we can't see the rigorous structure, profound ideology and logic of classical music, and we can't see the rich emotions of romantic music. Instead, it is strange fantasy factors, hazy feelings and mysterious colors.

His harmony is delicate and complicated, the orchestration is novel and colorful, and the melody is slightly indifferent and erratic, which is not available in classical music and romantic music.
