Musicology Annotation << Back Formation of Debussy's piano style in chamber-vocal miniature and in music for piano (on the example of "Five Poems of Baudelaire") Alexandrа A. Dokuchaeva March 25, 2018 marked the 100th anniversary of the death of the outstanding French composer Claude Debussy, one of the most outstanding representatives of French music culture at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. One of Debussy's greatest creative achievements is his new piano style, which was formed in two musical genres: in chamber vocal miniatures and directly in piano music. It is in the vocal miniature that the accompaniments are rich in signifi cant fi nds and insights, anticipating the artist's future fl ourishing. In this work, an example of the vocal cycle "Five Poems of Baudelaire" was performed to analyze the style features of Debussy's vocal music and its infl uence on piano music. Debussy's musical innovation is associated with his fi ndings in the fi eld of harmony, rhythm, the interpretation of the melodic principle, a bold attitude to the questions of musical form. The music of Debussy entered the gold fund of the world's musical heritage.
