Claude Debussy and the Great Blue Wave

In the galleries of Paris, painters like Monet and Renoir were breaking every rule — capturing light, water, and fleeting moments instead of sharp outlines. They called it Impressionism. Down the street, a young composer named Claude Debussy was doing the exact same thing with sound. With a Japanese wave print on his wall and the shimmer of moonlight in his ears, Debussy invented a new kind of music — blurry, shimmering, and breathtakingly beautiful.
