Description
Claude Debussy (1862-1918) lived long enough to witness the century of the airplane, but died before being able to write a musical impression of manned flight. A visionary composer and one of the pillars of modern music, Debussy rejected the label of impressionist. His non-traditional use of western scale patterns, as well as his use of chromaticism, influenced a new generation of musicians. His piano works, chamber music, and operatic and orchestral compositions remain popular with audiences today.
