Impressionism

Impressionist works of music contained some of the same characteristics of impressionist painting.

. . .
Debussy laid the foundation for later styles of music; he is noted as laying the foundation for jazz with his “different” chords (Classical 1). It was the breaking away from classical techniques that mainly characterized impressionism. He would paint in solid colors to intensify the effects of light. He not only gave the name to the style, he lived this new style.

Debussy never considered himself an Impressionist, he considered himself a “Realist”. (Classical 1) Since he never socialized with the impressionists at their cafés and their meetings, he isn’t really considered an impressionist, although his style and works are closely similar to those of the impressionists.
