Debussy's Late Style explores Claude Debussy's musical responses
to World War I. This period of composition encompasses the duration
of the war and the last four years of Debussy's life. The works
that emerged during this time reflect both wartime events and the
composer's self-conscious desire to define his own musical legacy
as he felt his life nearing its end. Debussy's complete wartime
compositions comprise a small but significant body of works, some
little known and some now acknowledged to be among the masterpieces
of his career. These include the Berceuse heroique, En Blanc et
noir, the Douze Etudes, the "Noel des enfants qui n'ont plus de
maisons," and the three instrumental sonatas (the Cello Sonata; the
Sonata for Flute, Viola, and Harp; and the Violin Sonata). Through
music analysis, musicology, and cultural history, this study offers
interpretive readings of Debussy's late works, focusing in
particular on how they reflect the unique cultural milieu of
wartime Paris."
