      Exploring Music with Bill McGlaughlin

      Claude Debussy (1862-1918)

      Claude Debussy, who once said he learned more from poets and painters than from the music conservatory, is considered the figurehead of Impressionist music (though he would vehemently argue against it). This week, Bill reflects on Debussy's peculiar upbringing, his studies at the Paris Conservatory, and his Prix de Rome win.
