Description: This book explores the works and life of French composer Claude Debussy, a seminal figure in the development of 20th-century music. The author argues that Debussy's true genius lay in his unconventional chord progressions and melodic structures. By analyzing the composer's major works, including "Clair de Lune" and "Pelléas et Mélisande," the author demonstrates how Debussy broke free from the constraints of traditional Western music and created a new, more expressive style that would influence generations of composers to come. The book also sheds light on Debussy's personal life, his relationships with other artists, and the cultural landscape of France during his lifetime. Ultimately, the author concludes that Debussy's legacy lies in his ability to transcend the boundaries of musical convention and create a uniquely evocative and deeply emotional body of work.
