  • He
  • is
  • sometimes
  • seen
  • as
  • the
  • first
  • Impressionist
  • composer,
  • although
  • he
  • vigorously
  • rejected
  • the
  • term.

  • of
  • the

  • to
  • a
  • family
  • of
  • modest
  • means
  • and
  • little
  • cultural
  • involvement,
  • Debussy
  • showed
  • enough
  • musical
  • talent

  • to
  • France's
  • leading
  • music
  • college,
  • the
  • Conservatoire
  • de
  • Paris.
  • He
  • originally
  • studied
  • the

  • despite
  • the
  • disapproval
  • of
  • the
  • Conservatoire's

  • to
  • develop
  • his
  • mature
  • style,
  • and
  • was
  • nearly
  • 40
  • when
  • he
  • achieved
  • international
  • fame
  • in
  • 1902
  • with
  • the
  • only
  • opera
  • he completed
