Claude Debussy (1862-1918)
Debussy's harmonic language - shaped by Javanese gamelan, medieval modes, and his own restless experimentation - made traditional musical rules feel unnecessary. His work floated free of the tonal gravity that had governed Western music for centuries.
Pieces like Clair de Lune and La Mer don't develop themes in conventional ways. They evoke, suggest, shimmer. When he died in Paris during the final German bombardment of 1918, he left behind music that opened doors for Ravel, Stravinsky, and the entire 20th century.
