Claude Debussy

Claude Debussy (1862–1918) was a French composer, born in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, whose only completed opera, Pelléas et Mélisande, made him internationally famous in 1902. He is sometimes called the first Impressionist composer, a label he rejected, and his orchestral works include Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune and La mer.
