① The vocabulary of novel motivation is composed of short tone cells.
② In rhythm, I like the complicated beat and polyrhythm, and the irregular subdivision of the beat weakens the driving force, showing a state of scattered flow.
③ Pay attention to the expressive force of the mode, and adopt the corresponding mode according to the image requirements. Expanding the concept of tonality often avoids obvious convergence. The use of diatonic scale makes every tone in the mode occupy the same position, weakens the sense of center of the tone, and causes polytonality.
Harmony is the most important means of expression, because I like to juxtapose different colors and sounds by plane and painting. By increasing the possibility of chord structure and weakening the functionality of harmonic progression, we can get extremely rich harmony colors.
⑤ The timbre is rich, unique and novel. In vocal music works, bass areas lacking brilliance and dramatic power are often used. The extensive application of color means in various musical instruments.
⑥ The arrangement of orchestration and texture is novel.
⑦ The structure is often loose and fuzzy, but the outline of trilogy can still be seen in many works.
After Debussy, although it is difficult to classify a composer as impressionism, the practical influence of impressionism music style and techniques has spread throughout the whole music world. Music is not the main object of description, but some music works are really written according to the situation. These music are called title music. Impressionist music works are almost all title music. This means that these works will focus on landscapes, poems or images, such as Debussy's Sea and Spring. Just like impressionist painting, it tends to depict the light and color of an object rather than its clear outline. Such works give people a dream, impression or hint. In order to achieve this effect, one of the most important techniques is the use of diatonic scale, which is well reflected in Debussy's work Sailing. In addition, impressionist composers seldom write long melodies, preferring short and exquisite phrases to create an atmosphere. Debussy can use, for example, scales with Greek and Asian characteristics, such as the use of pentatonic scale in ancient China. Debussy can create novel chords even if he uses the same mode as other composers. The famous music critic Camille Moakley wrote:
"The use of light in impressionist painting is like a symphony extension of the theme in music. The scenery written by claude monet is actually a symphony of light waves. Mr Debussy's music is not based on a series of themes, but is rooted in the relative value of sound itself, which is similar to those paintings. This is impressionism composed of silent patches. " Representative figure
Debussy and Ravel are recognized as two impressionist composers. In addition, Fa Ya, Simanovsky, Paul Dukas, Italian Otto Rino ottorino respighi and British Vaughan Williams are also outstanding representatives of this music genre.

During the prevalence of Impressionism and after Debussy's death 19 18, a large number of composers used impressionism techniques to create their own music works, some of which were even called "post-impressionism", including darius milhaud, Lily Blanche and Puccini.
Impressionism, though not popular for a long time, was quickly replaced by more radical and diverse modern music, but it left its own footprint in the history of music. It is worth mentioning that the importance of tonality has been diluted in impressionist music. Although these music works are still tonal, their "non-functional chords" paved the way for atonal music represented by Schoenberg and others later. Later, several music schools in the 20th century, such as expressionism, twelve-tone system and sequential music, were all influenced by impressionist music to some extent.
