Conclusion

Claude Debussy died on the 25th of March, 1918. H e was one of the men who pioneered the Impressionistic movement within music. His work was known as symbolism, as he often focused on a subject while he composed.

In simple terms, he painted a picture within one's mind, through music. And he was very successful with this.


 In his life he created many works, and if you want to take a look, here is a link to Wikipedia for a list of his works. There are waaay too many to write a quick list.

Debussy composed 141 pieces all together, he composed these in his fifty five years of life. He died of rectal cancer, fun fact- he was one of the earliest of colonoscopies ever performed.

Debussy's music is, (mostly), calming. It is perfect to sit back and close your eyes and imagine what he is trying to paint with the colours of the notes within the music.

Debussy was a talented man, I hope you all enjoy his music as much as I do.
