Summary

Here, journey into Debussy's early life as he broke with the musical past to create stunningly original piano works. Study five elements of Debussy's revolutionary style used to evoke the mythical cathedral of Ys rising from the sea. In particular, observe how he uses "modal" melodies and harmonies, rhythmic fluidity, and tone color to create a magical atmosphere and a nonlinear sense of time.
