Great composers of the world
Claude Debussy
1862 - 1918
Дебюсси• Claude-Ashil Debussy was born on August, 22nd, 1862 in suburb of Paris Sen-Zhermen-an-Le.
• His father, the small trader, was the owner of a small shop. When Claude was two years, his father had sold the shop, and all family had moved to Paris.
• In 1872, at the age of ten, Claude had entered the Paris Conservatory. In a class of piano he was engaged at the known pianist and teacher Albert Marmontel, in a class of solfeggio – at Albert Lavinjak, and the organ was taught with help of Sezar Frank. In conservatory Debussy studied successfully, though he was not genius. Only in 1877 the professors of Conservatory had noticed Debussy's piano talent, and he had got the second award for execution of a sonata of Schuman.
He traveled to Switzerland and to Italy being the house teacher of music in a family of rich Russian patroness of culture and arts Nadezhda Fon Meck. He also had visited Russia, where he had met Tchaikovsky, Borodin, Balakirev. Also he traveled to Florence, Venice, Rome and Vienna.
• Since 1883 Debussy had started to participate as the composer in competitions on reception of the Big Roman award. Next year he had been awarded it for a cantata "Prodigal son". This composition written under the influence of the French lyrical opera, is allocated with the present dramatic nature of separate scenes. Time of staying Debussy in Italy (1885-1887) became useful: he had got acquainted with ancient choral Italian music of XVI century and simultaneously with Wagner's creativity.
