Claude Debussy - Music cannot be learned

submitted by Marvin's Underground Music Ondemand on 05/08/18 1

The composer Claude Debussy was born in St. Germain-en-Laye, a few miles outside Paris, in 1862. While a pupil at the Conservatoire, he composed music that did not conform to the theory of the times. He contradicted his teachers by claiming that pleasure was the only valid rule of music, and that music could not be learned. Debussy was to become one of the greatest French composers, creating works which threw open entirely new musical horizons. This fascinating documentary gives deep insights into the life and work of Claude Debussy based on reports by those who encountered the great composer. Including Debussy's Childrens Corner played by Zoltán Kocsis. A film by Georges Gachot.
