Document Summary
Impressionism- musical style midway between the lush sounds of romanticism and the dissonant bombshells of modernism; the movement that arose in france in opposition to german romantic music. Born in 1862 into a modest family living in a small town outside paris. In 1844 he won the prix de rome, but he preferred paris and so returned. Prelude to the afternoon of a faun- debussy"s most famous work; uses instruments to paint the scene of a poem. Stephane mallarme- claude debussy"s friend and mentor and leader of the progressive group of poets called the symbolists; debussy"s prelude was written to precede mallarme"s poem, the afternoon of the faun . Parallel motion- an innovation by debussy opposing the german schools of wagner and brahms which heavily used counterpoint; in parallel motion all parts move together, locked in step, in the same direction.
