Composer(s):

Claude Debussy

Just like the impressionists did for painting, the music of French composer Claude Debussy brought the art of putting sounds together into the modern age. He broke the rules of tonality by introducing unexpected modulations, chord changes or sounds that do not belong to the tonal context, opening the way for the atonal or minimal explorations of every single twentieth century composer, from Stravinsky and Ravel to Philip Glass.
