  • With a composing career of about 30 years, Debussy was a French impressionist composer born in 1862. His works were originally influenced by music of Russia and the Far East. The single opera that he wrote actually launched his international fame, although he is probably most known these days for pieces like 'Clair de lune' and 'Deux Arabesques'.
    You'll hear 8 snippets of Debussy's well-known music. The snippets are very short, and they are strung together to form one 'piece' of music.

    Debussy's Asian and Jazzy style are what I believe makes him special, bringing it into Europe, he basically travelled the world and brought it to Europe.

      I remember my composition professor talking about debussy's "jazz style"
      20 years in as a jazz player who loves debussy i fail to see the resemblance.

      @@akirathedog777 Well ofcourse it is difficult for any Classical Composer to use any hint of Jazz composition, for example Ravel's Concerto for left hand, he got the idea from Gershwin, THE American Composer, but when you a Jazzist hears that Concerto, you miss the Jazz parts, but for a Classical musici or Composer it also does not sound like Classical, and I would say some passages are Jazz, but I think it is personal controlled Jazz by Ravel and Debussy because they did not grow to Jazz, they had some inspirations but raised a Classical one, no Classical musici can swap that easy, it is like learning a whole new language with the ability to learn the alphabet, that takes some while,, you know Oscar Peterson had a Collab with John Williams once, and he put an orchestra under the piece of Peterson's 'Body and Soul' now that orchestral play is also not Jazzy but also not Classical type, but it fits perfectly in Jazz, sometimes evolution goes slow, and you grow something beautifull between the actual result, Debussy and Ravel are great examples of that. 😃

    Nice, but sorry I think Debussy needs of a real pianoforte to appreciate the timbers of his pieces. Playing Debussy for a piano player means study how to create a very nice pianissimo, both legato and staccato. This subtle work on sound is completely inexistent in a digital piano.
