Abstract

Claude Debussy (1862-1918) is one of the most prominent French Impressionistic composers in the music history. His musical style is innovative and revolutionary and many think that his concept of music writing has been inspired by some of the significant French impressionistic painters of the late nineteenth century such as Monet, Pissarro, Renoir and others. He has developed a highly original system of harmony and musical structure aspired by many impressionists and symbolists of his time. As a prolific piano composer, he composed a great deal of piano music considered to be one of the most important standard repertoires of the earty twentith century. His piano music is so popular that they have been frequently used as teaching materials for students as well as public concert pieces for professional pianists. In this article, we will discuss his musical style and piano works from the following research perspectives, his early life, piano music in general, list of the piano works, and the analysis of the second book of his piano suite “Image”.
