Thread Name: Classical music - what makes you listen?
Subject: RE: Classical music - what makes you listen?
Slightly gobsmacked that, in 198 posts, Claude Debussy is only mentioned twice.
I came to Debussy in my late teens after hearing Isao Tomita's "Snowflakes are Dancing". Back then it was the melodies (specifically Girl with the Flaxen Hair, Reverie and Arabesque No 1) that grabbed me.
Now, 40+ years on, it's his genius. Hard to imagine just how revolutionary he was.
