Often considered the father of twentieth-century music, Debussy was a visionary whose influence is still felt.

This book offers a wide-ranging series of essays on Debussy the man, the musician and composer.

It contains insights into his character, his relationship to his Parisian environment and his musical works across all genres, with challenging views on the roles of nature and eroticism in his life and music.

His music is considered through the characteristic themes of sonority, rhythm, tonality and form, with closing chapters considering the performance and reception of his music in the first years of the new century and our view of Debussy today as a major force in Western culture.

This comprehensive view of Debussy is written by a team of specialists for students and informed music lovers.
