Claude DEBUSSY
![]() Achille-Claude Debussy was born on 22 August 1862 in Saint-Germain-en-Laye in a modest environment, his father (former military sailor) running a small business with her mother. He doesn't go to school, but during a stay in Cannes his aunt awakens him to music and his companion to painting. Return to Paris, he learns the piano with a probable former pupil of Chopin (and Verlaine's mother-in-law) then enters the Conservatory. For ten years, he is rebellious there so much with his harmony teacher, to whom he replied one day "I hear my harmony, but not yours ", that with Marmontel, his piano teacher, who nevertheless recommends him to the illustrious patron of Tchaikovsky, looking for a musical tutor for his children. Enter 1879 et 1882, he thus discovers the various luxurious residences of Mrs. von Meck, Russian music and begins to compose. Rome Price in 1884, he returned from Villa Medici two years later and then knew other influences, starting with Wagner's operas, that will mark him forever. He is also enthusiastic about the exoticism of the Universal Exhibition of 1889, Art Nouveau and ancient sacred music. His first pages for piano (Small suite, Arabesques and Bergamasque Suite) turn out to be very attractive, et le premier concert entièrement consacré à ses ?uvres ? notamment son seul Quatuor à cordes ? se tient le 1er March 1894 in a gallery in Brussels decorated with recent paintings by Gauguin, Sisley and Renoir ... Shortly after, his Prelude to the afternoon of a fauna is created, after a poem by Mallarmé. This most beautiful example of impressionism in music, even if Debussy rather refers to symbolist literature, will be the subject of a no less innovative choreography by Nijinski in 1912. In the meantime, succeeded Pelléas and Mélisande, unique attempt to transform opera into a poetic genre, et ses chefs-d'?uvre, with dreamlike colors and climates : Nocturnes, the three "symphonic sketches" constituting La Mer, Pictures. Before going to more abstraction (sonatas, Studies, Games), Debussy writes his marvelous Preludes for piano, "Eternal foreword of something that will never happen" (Jankélévitch). Has cancer as soon as 1909, il doit continuer à faire face au manque de reconnaissance et aux soucis financiers en dépit de ses activités de critique ? sous le nom de M. Croche ? ou de chef d'orchestre (while he hates staging a public execution). He dies on 25 March 1918, before the end of a war that dismayed him, but surrounded by his second wife and his daughter Chouchou, disappeared the following year.
