Impressionism (jan 1, 1870 – jan 1, 1890)

Description:

Debussy, Ravel and others compose music of mystery, magic and wonder.
The aim of Impressionist art was to suggest rather than to clearly draw objects. Impressionist music does much the same thing, focusing on creating a sense of the piece's topic by using blurred harmony and delicate shadings of sound rather than relying on standard forms and a strong, clear rhythmic beat. There is an air of mystery, magic and wonder that surrounds Impressionistic music.
