Description

Wendy Thompson (au). Claude Debussy revitalized French music with his uniquely subtle art, opening up a new sound-world for the 20th century. While the politicians played their deadly power games, priming the war machine that was to shatter European civilization in 1914, the arts in late 19th-century Paris flourished. Writers, poets, & artists -- among them Zola, Mallarme, & Renoir -- felt free to be original & creative, & Debussy’s music found its voice. This lavishly illustrated biography in the Composer’s World series traces Debussy’s life -- against the fashionable background of turn-of-the-century Paris. Included, in simple keyboard arrangements, are extracts from some of Debussy’s most sensuous music. Beautifully designed!
