Bio
Debussy is known as the first and greatest Impressionist composer. He was a prodigy and began his studies at the Conservatoire de Paris at the age of 10. He studied under Marmontel, Lavignac, Guiraud, Durand, and Franck. His style was a reaction to the German tradition of Wagner and others and heavily influenced the next generation including Bartók, Messiaen, and Benjamin.
