다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Claude A. Debussy (1862-1918) is one of the most important composers in the history of piano music. He is the creator and leading exponent of French musical impressionism.
Debussy found his creative inspiration in impressionist painting and symbolist literature. The painters revealed to him the contrast between light and shadow, the vague expression of impressions, and the interplay of color. The symbolist writers showed him the art of suggestion through a word or the turn of phrase, the drama of half tones, and the beauty of sound for sound's sake. But he expressed his personal interpretation of these ideas by means uniquely his own. He refused to submit to the rules of traditional musical theory (Sonata Allegro Form) and the overblown forms of program music and the harmonic style of Wagner and Post Wagnerians. He had his own harmonic concept. Debussy freely used dissonance and parallel series of perfect intervals: fifths, fourths, and octaves. In his melodic procedure he used modal scale, pentatonic scale, and the whole tone scale.
He took the piano as an instrument of harmonic and tonal blending rather than simple melodic one. He refused to the keyboard restrictions set up by his predecessor and proceeded to imagine different concepts of piano techniques and colorful devices.
The essence of Debussy's talent rests in two volumes of preludes (twelve pieces in each). In these preludes Debussy used his own impressionistic method and offered a new sound. He created a subtle piano music style that made new demands of technique, and the shifting, blurred sonorities of the style were achieved by a new use of the damper pedal.
Debussy's style was one of the most important influences on music in the twentieth century. His revolutionary usage of tonal ambiguity, pedal point, unsolved chords, dissonance, and chromaticism opened a new way to contemporary music. This is the greatness of Debussy.
