How Did Claude Debussy Music Differ From His Music

I choose the music of Claude Debussy and how the sound of his music differs from other the music of the romantic era.

One of the main reasons that Claude Debussy music differed from the music of romantic era is because it was coming from the start of a different era. The romantic era music was a rebellion. The music and more of a rebellion statement and in government, religious and social ideas. Their music was very creative and glorified imagination emotions individualism in nature in their work. So the sound of romantic era music reflected what they were going through.

For example, with Franz Schubert’s Erlkonig it shows the emotions that were glorified during the romantic era. From the beginning starts off with a strong and furious opening

to betray the frightened boy to the middle of the song where the song shows a little bit of happiness. It showed emotions and imagination two important ideas that the romanticism era liked.

Claude Debussy music what’s from the impressionism era so his music, as well as other composer music, was different. He focused more on the mood or emotion of the subject and in the case of the pieces Preludes, he focused on the mood and emotion of the poem. The piece hades harmonic usages and was not as heavy or bombastic as the romantic era pieces from Franz and other romantic composers.

When you compare some of the music from the romantic era music has a faster beat and impression era music like Claude Debussy music is subtle and has a shorter length than romantic era music.
