Debussy drove French music into entirely new regions of beauty and excitement at a time when old traditions threatened to stifle it. Yet despite his profound influence on French culture, Debussy's own life was complicated and often troubled by struggles over money, women, and ill health. Here, Stephen Walsh, acclaimed author of \u003ci\u003eStravinsky, \u003c\/i\u003e chronicles both the composer himself and the unique moment in European history that bore him. Walsh's engagingly original approach is to enrich a lively biography with analyses of Debussy's music: from his first daring breaks with the rules as a Conservatoire student to his achievements as the greatest French composer of his time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStephen Walsh is Emeritus Professor of Music at Cardiff University and the author of a number of books on music including \u003ci\u003eMusorgsky and His Circle\u003c\/i\u003e and the prizewinning, two-volume biography of Igor Stravinsky.
