Claude Debussy and Twentieth-century Music by Arthur Wenk PDF Summary

Book Description: "The thesis of this book may be simply stated: Debussy's importance lies in his contribution to the central issues of twentieth-century music. Debussy's influence was not limited to a few new idioms which lesser composers could imitate. Rather, Debussy's music offered a new way of thinking about music in general. His greatest influence has been not on his immediate contemporaries but on composers since 1945, when a revolution in thinking about musical time permitted a truer evaluation of Debussy's achievement and a new exploration of his tonal resources. The liberation of the musical moment, the new emphasis on timbre, and the concept of rhythm as duration rather than relation, all depend on Debussy's work, as contemporary composers have demonstrated both in their remarks about music and in their interest in reanalyzing Debussy's late music in light of contemporary techniques. Our picture of Debussy has come full circle. Perceived as a radical composer in the 1890s, as a charming, but minor, figure in the decades following his death, Debussy now emerges as a true revolutionary whose subtle overturning of musical conventions has had as great an effect on the music of our time as the more celebrated revolutions of Stravinsky and Schoenberg." --Preface.
