1873, Debussy was admitted to the Paris Conservatory of Music and studied professionally 12 years. As a natural rebel, Debussy is full of doubts and often asks awkward questions, but he doesn't think so. When he was studying in the Conservatory of Music, he also challenged his teachers, which made Franck, Cesar, Luo Ji and other musicians furious. And his cultural accomplishment and artistic taste have developed decisively in these years. Some romantic works created by Debussy in this period, such as Mandolin and Puppet, reflect that his exploration of unique musical language has been quite innovative, which is different from the late romanticism in the same period. At the same time, he is good at sensory enjoyment and aristocratic style, and his personality characteristics are also very distinct. 1884, Debussy won the long-awaited Rome Prize for his chorus The Return of the Prodigal Son. As a material treatment for the winner, he lived in the villa Medici in Rome for three years.
After Debussy returned from Rome at the end of 65438+1980s, he began to have close contacts with symbolist poets and impressionist painters, thus entering a mature and prosperous period of creation. During the 20 years from 65438 to 1990s, his works summarized the achievements of the previous era of European music, opened the way for the next new era of music, and became an important bridge connecting the two centuries. Because of his pioneering creation, French music played an important role in the music culture of the 20th century.
Debussy also advocates the instantaneous alternation and change of impressions. In order to pursue free tonal contrast, he used the precedent created by his sister art-he used hints as hard as Malamei, and also learned from Wei Erlun to express the vague artistic conception between language and music. Although Debussy hated being called "Impressionist" at that time, he was indeed the founder of impressionist music school.
After the outbreak of World War I, Debussy wrote two works reflecting the war: Heroic Lullaby and Christmas Song for Homeless Children, which showed his patriotic enthusiasm. All the works he created during this period were signed "French musician Claude Debussy".
Debussy spent his later years in illness. He felt deeply depressed, but he still tried to keep writing. At this time, he returned to the chamber music creation that he came into contact with in the 1990s of 19, but it was interrupted for more than 20 years, and only three of the planned six sonatas were written. On March 25th, 2008, Debussy died in Paris.
Debussy's piano ditty "Moonlight" is a fascinating work, which depicts such a quiet and pleasant artistic conception with light music-harmonious moonlight floats in the air, radiates to every corner of the night and gently covers everything. This song was inspired by the poem of the same name written by Wei Erlun, a symbolic poet. The original poem depicts several dead dancers dancing like demons in the moonlight. But Debussy's music focuses on the beauty and mystery of moonlight.
The period from 1892 to 1903 was the golden age of Debussy's creation, and perris and Merisandel was completed in this period. Perris and Melisand is the only impressionist opera, which embodies Debussy's creative style. This opera was created by Debussy based on maeterlinck's drama of the same name in recent years 10. It comes from Debussy's unremitting exploration in various music fields. Every piece of music in the opera is colorful and dazzling on the stage. Lyric and dramatic, cheerful timbre and tragic colors are organically integrated, which makes the music produce extraordinary effects.
