    Claude Debussy

    Claude Debussy (1908)

    Claude-Achille Debussy (French pronunciation: [klod ail dbysi])[1](22 August 1862 25March 1918) was a French composer. Along with Maurice Ravel, he was one of the mostprominent figures working within the field ofimpressionist music, though he himself intenselydisliked the term when applied to his compositions.[2]In France, he was made Chevalier ofthe Legion of Honourin 1903.[3]A crucial figure in the transition to the modern era in Westernmusic, he remains one of the most famous and influential of all composers.His music is noted for its sensory component and for not often forming around one key or pitch.Often Debussy's work reflected the activities or turbulence in his own life. In French literarycircles, the style of this period was known as symbolism, a movement that directly inspiredDebussy both as a composer and as an active cultural participant.[4]

    Claude Debussy was born in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, France, 22 August 1862, the eldest of five

    children. His father, Manuel-Achille Debussy, owned a shop where he sold china and crockeryand his mother, Victorine Manoury Debussy, was a seamstress. The family moved to Paris in1867, but in 1870 Debussy's pregnant mother sought refuge from the Franco-Prussian war with apaternal aunt of Claude's in Cannes. Debussy began piano lessons there at the age of seven yearswith an Italian violinist in his early forties named Cerutti; his lessons were paid for by his aunt.In 1871 he drew the attention of Marie Maut de Fleurville,[5]who claimed to have been a pupilofFrdric Chopin. Debussy always believed her, although there is no independent evidence ofher claim.[6]His talents soon became evident, and in 1872, at age ten, Debussy entered the ParisConservatoire, where he spent eleven years. During his time there he studied compositionwith Ernest Guiraud, music history/theory with Louis-Albert Bourgault-Ducoudray, harmonywith mile Durand,[7]piano with Antoine Franois Marmontel, organ with Csar Franck,

    and solfge with Albert Lavignac, as well as other significant figures of the era. He also becamea lifelong friend of fellow student and noted pianist Isidor Philipp. After Debussy's death, manypianists sought out Philipp for advice on playing his pieces.

    Gustav Mahler

    Gustav Mahler(German pronunciation:[staf mal]; 7 July 1860 18 May 1911)

    was a late-RomanticAustrian composer and one of the leading conductors of his

    generation. He was born in the village of Kalischt, Bohemia, in what was then

    the Austrian Empire, nowKalitin the Czech Republic. Then his family moved tonearby Iglau (now Jihlava) where Mahler grew up.

    As a composer, he acted as a bridge between the 19th century Austro-German tradition

    and the modernism of the early 20th century. While in his lifetime his status as a

    conductor was established beyond question, his own music gained wide popularity only

    after periods of relative neglect which included a ban on its performance in much of

    Europe during the Nazi era. After 1945 the music was discovered and championed by anew generation of listeners; Mahler then became one of the most frequently performed

    and recorded of all composers, a position he has sustained into the 21st century.

    Born in humble circumstances, Mahler displayed his musical gifts at an early age. After

    graduating from theVienna Conservatory in 1878, he held a succession of conducting

    posts of rising importance in the opera houses of Europe, culminating in his

    appointment in 1897 as director of the Vienna Court Opera (Hofoper). During his tenyears in Vienna, Mahlerwho had converted to Catholicism from Judaism to secure the

    postexperienced regular opposition and hostility from the anti-Semitic press.

    Nevertheless, his innovative productions and insistence on the highest performance

    standards ensured his reputation as one of the greatest of opera conductors,

    particularly as an interpreter of the stage works ofWagnerand Mozart. Late in his lifehe was briefly director of New York's Metropolitan Opera and the New York

    Philharmonic.
