Music and rhythm find their own way to the most secret place of the human
soul...
Impressionism in music was
tendency in European classical music, mainly in France, which appeared in the
late nineteenth century and continued into the middle of the twentieth century.
Similarly to its precursor in the visual arts, musical impressionism focuses on
a suggestion and an atmosphere rather than on a strong emotion or the depiction
of a story as in program music...
Musical impressionism occurred as a reaction
to the excesses of the Romantic era. While the earlier era was characterized by
a dramatic use of the major and minor scale systems, impressionist music tended
to make more use of dissonance. Rather uncommon scales such as whole tone scale
are also typical for this movement. Romantic composers were using long forms of
music, e.g. symphony and concerto, while impressionist composers were favoring
short forms such as nocturne, arabesque and prelude...

Claude-Achille Debussy
Claude-Achille Debussy (22 August 1862 – 25 March 1918)
was a French composer. Along with Maurice Ravel, he was one of the most
prominent figures working within the field of impressionist music, though he
himself intensely disliked the term when applied to his compositions...In
France, he was made Chevalier of the Legion of Honour in 1903... A crucial
figure in the transition to the modern era in Western music, he remains one of
the most famous and influential of all composers...

Joseph-Maurice Ravel
Joseph-Maurice Ravel (March 7, 1875 – December 28, 1937)
was a French composer known especially for his melodies, orchestral and
instrumental textures and effects. Much of his piano music, chamber music,
vocal music and orchestral music has entered the standard concert repertoire...
Ravel met Debussy in the 1890s. Debussy was older than
Ravel by some twelve years and his pioneering Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune
was influential among the younger musicians including Ravel, who were impressed
by the new language of impressionism... In 1900, Ravel was invited to Debussy’s
home and they played each other’s works. Viñes became the preferred piano
performer for both composers and a go-between. The two composers attended many
of the same musical events and were performed at the same concerts. Ravel and
the Apaches were strong supporters of Debussy’s controversial public debut of
his unconventional opera Pelléas et Mélisande, which garnered Debussy both fame
and scorn...

Gabriel Urbain
Fauré (12 May 1845– 4 November 1924) was a French composer, organist, pianist
and teacher. He was one of the foremost French composers of his generation, and
his musical style influenced many 20th-century composers. Among his best-known
works are his Pavane, Requiem, nocturnes for piano, and the songs "Après
un rêve" and "Clair de lune". Although his best-known and most
accessible compositions are generally his earlier ones, Fauré composed many of
his greatest works in his later years, in a harmonically and melodically much
more complex style...
Fauré's
biographer, Nectoux, writes in the Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians,
that Fauré is widely regarded as the greatest master of French song, and that
alongside the songs the chamber works rank as "Fauré's most important
contribution to music"... The critic
Robert Orledge writes, "His genius was one of synthesis: he reconciled
such opposing elements as modality and tonality, anguish and serenity,
seduction and force within a single non-eclectic style, as in the Pelléas et
Mélisande suite, his symphonic masterpiece. The quality of constant renewal
within an apparently limited range … is a remarkable facet of his genius, and
the spare, elliptical style of his single String Quartet suggests that his
intensely self-disciplined style was still developing at the time of his
death...
