Achille Claude Debussy (French pronunciation: [aʃil klod dəbysi]; 22 August 1862 – 25 March 1918) was a French composer. He is sometimes seen as the first Impressionist composer, although he vigorously rejected the term. He was among the most influential composers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born to a family of modest means and little cultural involvement, Debussy showed enough musical talent to be admitted at the age of ten to France's leading music college, the Conservatoire de Paris. He originally studied the piano, but found his vocation in innovative composition, despite the disapproval of the Conservatoire's conservative professors. He took many years to develop his mature style, and was nearly 40 when he achieved international fame in 1902 with the only opera he completed, Pelléas et Mélisande. Debussy's orchestral works include Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune (1894), Nocturnes (1897–1899) and Images (1905–1912). His music was to a considerable extent a reaction against Wagner and the German musical tradition. He regarded the classical symphony as obsolete and sought an alternative in his "symphonic sketches", La mer (1903–1905). His piano works include sets of 24 Préludes and 12 Études. Throughout his career he wrote mélodies based on a wide variety of poetry, including his own. He was greatly influenced by the Symbolist poetic movement of the later 19th century. A small number of works, including the early La Damoiselle élue and the late Le Martyre de saint Sébastien have important parts for chorus. In his final years, he focused on chamber music, completing three of six planned sonatas for different combinations of instruments. With early influences including Russian and Far Eastern music and works by Chopin, Debussy developed his own style of harmony and orchestral colouring, derided – and unsuccessfully resisted – by much of the musical establishment of the day. His works have strongly influenced a wide range of composers including Béla Bartók, Igor Stravinsky, George Gershwin, Olivier Messiaen, George Benjamin, and the jazz pianist and composer Bill Evans. Debussy died from cancer at his home in Paris at the age of 55 after a composing career of a little more than 30 years.

En blanc et noir (French: [ɑ̃ blɑ̃ e nwaʁ]; English: "In White and Black"), L. 134, CD. 142, is a suite in three movements for two pianos by Claude Debussy, written in June 1915. He composed the work on the Normandy coast, suffering from cancer and concerned about the prospects of France in the Great War. The work is full of personal literary and musical allusions. Each movement comes with a literary motto. In the second movement, Debussy quoted Luther's hymn "Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott" as a symbol of militant Lutheran Germany. The three movements were dedicated respectively to three people: Serge Koussevitzky, Jacques Charlot (an associate of Debussy's publisher who was killed in the war), and Igor Stravinsky.

Estampes (Prints), L. 100, is a composition for solo piano by Claude Debussy. Finished in 1903, the first performance of the work was given by Ricardo Viñes at the Salle Érard of the Société nationale de musique in Paris on 9 January 1904. The suite with 3 movements is one of a number of piano works by Debussy which are often described as impressionistic, a term borrowed from painting. The style of composition had been pioneered by Ravel in Jeux d'eau, written in 1901, and was soon adopted by Debussy (for example in the earlier numbers of Images), but Debussy did not refer to himself as an impressionist.

The Études (CD 143) are the final collection for piano by Claude Debussy, comprising twelve pieces composed between 5 August and 29 September 1915. Divided into two books and dedicated to the memory of Frédéric Chopin, they were premiered partially by pianists George Copeland on 21 November 1916 in New York City, Walter Rummel on 14 December 1916; at a concert for the benefit of "L'Aide affectueuse aux musiciens" in Paris, and Marguerite Long on 10 November 1917 at the Société nationale de musique. Composed during the turmoil of World War I, this work is characteristic of Debussy's "late style" – austere, concentrated, and visionary – as also seen in the first two of his Sonatas and the suite for two pianos En blanc et noir, composed contemporaneously. Building on Chopin's Études and Liszt's Transcendental Études, the work addresses various aspects of pianistic technique, from intervals (thirds, fourths, sixths, octaves) and digital mechanisms in the first book, to explorations of new sonorities in the second.

Le Plantier de Costebelle is a house built in neo-Palladian style starting in 1857 by Baroness Hortense Pauline Husson de Prailly. Located in the commune of Hyères-les-Palmiers, in the Var department, on the eastern slope of Mont des Oiseaux and the hills of Costebelle, the property overlooks the roadstead of Hyères, the Giens peninsula, and the islands of Porquerolles and Port-Cros. A vacation residence in the second half of the 19th century for prominent ecclesiastics (Dominican Father Henri Lacordaire and the Bishop of Orléans, Monsignor Félix Dupanloup), the "Villa des Palmiers" (as named by Hortense de Prailly) also welcomed the Legitimist writer Armand de Pontmartin. But the most illustrious visit to date remains the 1892 stay at the Villa des Palmiers by Queen Victoria, accompanied by Prince Henry of Battenberg. In 1896, the French novelist and academician Paul Bourget (1852–1935), author of Le Disciple, purchased the property, which then took its current name, "Le Plantier de Costebelle". There, he hosted numerous prominent figures from the literary world—such as André Gide, Henry James, and Edith Wharton—from the political sphere (Lady Randolph Churchill, Charles Maurras, Maurice Barrès), and even from the military world (Marshal Joseph Joffre), until his death in 1935. The estate was then passed on to the novelist's heir, General Marius Daille. The house has been partially listed in the supplementary inventory of historical monuments by an order dated December 26, 1976. Its botanical park has carried the "Remarkable Garden" label since November 2009. After many years of renovation aimed at restoring the architectural and botanical ensemble as envisioned by Hortense de Prailly in the 19th century, Le Plantier de Costebelle is today a writer's house, combining private residence with partial public access under certain conditions.

Images (usually pronounced in French as [i.maʒ]) is a suite of nine compositions for solo piano by Claude Debussy. They were published in two books/series, each consisting of three pieces. These works are distinct from Debussy's Images pour orchestre. The first book was composed between 1901 and 1905, and the second book was composed in 1907. The total duration is approximately 30 minutes. With respect to the first series of Images, Debussy wrote to his publisher, Jacques Durand: "Without false pride, I feel that these three pieces hold together well, and that they will find their place in the literature of the piano ... to the left of Schumann, or to the right of Chopin... " Debussy wrote another collection, Images oubliées (L. 87), in the winter of 1894 and dedicated it to Yvonne Lerolle, daughter of the painter Henry Lerolle.

L'isle joyeuse, L. 106 (The Joyful Island) is a piece for solo piano by Claude Debussy composed in 1904. It is assumed that the painting The Embarkation for Cythera by Jean-Antoine Watteau served as inspiration for the piece, with Debussy reimagining a group's journey to Cythera, the island considered Aphrodite's birthplace, and their subsequent ecstatic unions of love upon arrival. According to Jim Samson (1977), the "central relationship in the work is that between material based on the whole-tone scale, the Lydian mode and the diatonic scale, the Lydian mode functioning as an effective mediator between the other two."

La plus que lente, L. 121 (French pronunciation: [laplyskəˈlɑ̃t], "The more than slow"), is a waltz for solo piano written by Claude Debussy in 1910, shortly after his publication of the Préludes, Book I. The piece debuted at the New Carlton Hotel in Paris, where it was transcribed for strings and performed by the popular 'gipsy' violinist, Léoni, for whom Debussy wrote it (and who was given the manuscript by the composer). Debussy arranged the piece for small orchestra (flute, clarinet, piano, cimbalom and strings) which was published in 1912.

The Little Nigar (CD 122, L. 114) is the original title by composer Claude Debussy for a short piece for piano, composed in 1909 for a piano method and published the same year. It was later also published as a single piece, entitled The Little Negro and Le petit nègre. In more recent times, the piece has also been published under the title Le petit noir (The Little Black).

Masques, L. 105, is a piece for solo piano by Claude Debussy. Composed in July 1904, it was premiered on 18 February 1905 by Ricardo Viñes at the Salle Pleyel in Paris. Its sombre character reflects Debussy's difficult separation from Lilly Texier, his first wife. The title refers to the commedia dell'arte, although Debussy confided to Marguerite Long that the piece was "not Italian comedy, but an expression of the tragedy of existence" (French: ce n'est pas la comédie italienne, mais l'expression tragique de l'existence.)

The Petite Suite, L 65, is a suite for piano four hands by Claude Debussy. It has been transcribed many times, most notably in an orchestral version by Debussy's colleague Henri Büsser. The suite, which was composed from 1886 to 1889, was first performed on 2 February 1889 by Debussy and pianist-publisher Jacques Durand at a salon in Paris. It may have been written due to a request (possibly from Durand) for a piece that would be accessible to skilled amateurs, as its simplicity is in stark contrast with the modernist works that Debussy was writing at the time.

Pour le piano (For the piano), L. 95, is a suite for solo piano by Claude Debussy. It consists of three individually composed movements, Prélude, Sarabande and Toccata. The suite was completed and published in 1901. It was premiered on 11 January 1902 at the Salle Érard, played by Ricardo Viñes. Maurice Ravel orchestrated the middle movement. Regarded as Debussy's first mature piano composition, the suite has frequently been recorded. Bärenreiter published a critical edition in 2018, on the occasion of the centenary of Debussy's death.

The Première rhapsodie (First Rhapsody), L. 116, CD. 124, by Claude Debussy is a piece for accompanied clarinet. Composed between December 1909 and January 1910, it was dedicated to the French clarinet professor Prosper Mimart. In 1909, Gabriel Fauré, Director of the Conservatoire de Paris, named Debussy to its board of directors (le Conseil Supérieur). One of Debussy's first duties was to supply two works for the next year's clarinet examinations. The Rhapsodie was first performed as part of the examinations on July 14, 1910. The original composition was for clarinet and piano; Debussy published his own orchestration of the accompaniment in 1911, after the official premiere with Mimart. In 1901, Debussy had been commissioned to write a work for alto saxophone and orchestra by Elise Hall, but never finished the 1903 draft during his lifetime. This "Second Rhapsody" was later completed by Jean Roger-Ducasse as Rapsodie pour orchestre et saxophone.

"Rêverie" is a musical composition by Claude Debussy, composed in 1890.

Suite bergamasque (L. 75) (French pronunciation: [sɥit bɛʁɡamask]) is a piano suite by Claude Debussy. He began composing it around 1890, at the age of 28, but significantly revised it just before its 1905 publication. The popularity of the third movement, Clair de lune, has made it one of the composer's most famous works for piano, as well as one of the most famous musical pieces of all time.

(The "L¹" and "L²" headers can be clicked on to sort the entire list by either numbering. A second click will reverse the order. Reloading the webpage will restore the genre-category order.)

Valse romantique, L. 71, is a solo piano piece written by the French composer Claude Debussy (1862–1918) in 1890. It is in the key of F minor and starts on the tempo of "Tempo di valse (Allegro moderato)". The piece is divided in several small parts, in a late romantic style rather than the impressionism for which he is known.
