Claude Debussy was that rare creature, a composer who reinvented
the language of music without alienating the majority of music
lovers. He is the modernist everyone loves. How did he manage this?
Was it through the association of his music with visual images, or
was it simply that, by throwing out the rule book of the Paris
Conservatoire where he studied, his music put beauty of sound above
the spiritual ambitions of the German tradition from which those
rules derived. Stephen Walsh's thought-provoking biography, told
partly through the events of Debussy's life, and partly through a
critical discussion of his music, addresses these and other
questions about one of the most influential composers of the early
twentieth century.
