To mention the charm of Debussy's music, people often think of the piano music Moonlight, which is a transparent and soft lamp floating down slowly. Night in Granada, slightly lost to the guitar and plucking sound of the distant soundboard decorated in Spanish style; In the opposite position of the chord progression, The Reflection of Water forms the ripple, the surface of the ripple and the ever-expanding dynamic of the water wave in a musical mode. The symphonic sketch "The Wave Game" is a short motive, cheerful phrases, bright colors and sounds, and the chattering string playing in the background outlines the noisy waves, jumping waves, laughing water and the flashing sunshine. However, the greatest influence on Debussy's creation is not painting, not music, but literature.
Biography of writer Louisa? When Libby was translating the first biography of Debussy, "Claude Debussy? Asir? " Put forward: "Debussy is almost exactly the same as impressionist painters and poets in terms of temperament and inclination ..." I think Debussy is closer to his own poetic symbolism.
Poetic symbolism was formed in France in the middle of19th century, mainly in the field of poetry writing, with Mallarme, Wei Yi and Bo as the representatives. The symbolism implied in poetry is to promote people's mental state through a little imagination and inspiration, so that readers can guess and understand for themselves. Poets can vaguely associate mysterious language consciousness and form images or symbols to hint at the potential "absolute" and "eternal" world behind things. Mallarme believes that beauty means obscurity, obscurity cannot be separated from dreams, and the beauty of realizing dreams does not belong to the world. This expression can also be found in various art categories. Symbolist art advocates "rightfully investing" as a symbol of "material concern", expresses the author's feelings and thoughts in a suggestive way, makes good use of free association and imagination, and conveys hazy emotions and mysterious hallucinations to wonderful pessimists through sweet voices and unique colors.
Debussy is a student of the Paris Conservatory of Music. They began to read the works of Mallarme, a symbolic poet, and became interested. 1In the 1980s, after he returned from studying in Rome, he had frequent contacts with symbolist poets in Paris, and some of them became close friends. Their aesthetics and artistic pursuit have a decisive influence on his music. The capture and presentation of the unusual expression "instant impression" advocated by Mallarme is vividly reflected in Debussy's works. Debussy said: there, the role of words in music is powerless. Music is not something based on performance. I hope it can come back from obscurity. Therefore, Lakwa, a friend of music critic Debussy, said: "Debussy's music and impression are synonymous with painting and poetry." ③ Let? George? Aubrey also stressed: "No matter how many impressionistic elements there are in Debussy's music, he is always associated with literature ..... Under the ups and downs of music drifting, the subject understands and loves, and he guides people to understand and love the same music. If we imagine The Sea and Monet's paintings many times, we should not forget that this impression comes from TMW· Turner, a great master of English literature.
