He shattered traditional harmony and created entirely new music. Considered one of the composers of the French Impressionist movement. 〈Overview〉 【Form】 A-B-A'-B'-A'' An extended ternary form, which could be described as "A-(B-A-B)-A". A sense of rondo form with variations. 【Meter and Scale】 Disruptive scales in classical music. Evident use of pentatonic scale. Whole-Tone Scale. Whole-Tone Scale frequently appears in atonal scenes. Starting from chords containing augmented intervals like dominant seventh and minor seventh-flat five, it transitions to Whole-Tone Scale. Diminished seventh chords are hinted but not used extensively, perhaps due to their distance from the Whole-Tone Scale. 【Melody and Harmony】 The A section's theme lacks a strong melodic sense, with harmonic textures dominating the melody. In atonal sections, the Whole-Tone Scale is explicitly employed to convey a sense of atonality. Harmony attempts to break classical music conventions. Bold pedal tones, passing tones, and secondary harmonies are prevalent. Various harmonic techniques like parallel harmony and displaced chords are used extensively. Chords like IIm7/V are used as D chords. Frequent use of quartal harmony. Sense of modal interchange with dominant seventh chords. Many tension notes are used as appoggiaturas or escape tones. Harmonies transition based on the displacement of constituent tones, creating a blurred harmonic landscape. Frequent use of clear perfect fifth voicings contributes to the impressionistic and rich sound. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Composer Toydora → https://tomita-haruki.studio.site/ #debussy #MusicTheory
