Who is the founder of Impressionist music?

Claude Debussy.

Impressionist music is a new music style that originated in Paris, the center of European cultural activities, at the end of the 19th century. It is a music genre that emerged under the influence of "Symbolist Literature" and "Impressionist Painting". Impressionist music has a completely abstract and transcendent color, which is the beginning of music entering modernism.

Its musical form, texture, expression techniques, basic aesthetic viewpoints, and the artistic purposes and effects it pursues are all very different from classical and romanticism. First created by French composer C. Debussy.

As the founder of Impressionist music, Debussy’s creative characteristics are directly related to Romanticism. Judging from the titles of his piano works, Debussy likes to place his creations in a dream world, which is a major feature of romantic music.
