Afternoon of a Faun: How Debussy Created a New Music for the Modern World (Amadeus)
Afternoon of a Faun Amadeus Series Hardcover Written by Harvey Lee Snyder
Claude Debussy was the father of the modern era in classical music
His innovations liberated Stravinsky, Schoenberg, and Bartók to write their iconoclastic works, and his harmonic inventions are still heard in American jazz
Though he was among the most compelling figures of the Belle Époque, his life is little known to all but scholars; and of his considerable musical output, only Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun, La mer, and Clair de lune are widely known
Harvey Lee Snyder addresses this cultural neglect by presenting the composer and his music, without jargon or biographical trivia, in a richly detailed, accurate narrative that reads like a novel
