# Claude Debussy (@claude-debussy)

Claude Debussy was a French composer whose work transformed harmony, orchestral color, and musical time. The work is associated with modal and whole-tone resources, timbral precision, fluid rhythm, and resistance to conventional development. Major examples include Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune, Pelléas et Mélisande, La mer, Images, and piano préludes. A balanced account also considers his complicated relationship to the label Impressionism and influence on musical modernism.
