Impressionist

Impressionist music is a style of classical music that developed in the late 19th century, primarily in France. It is characterized by a focus on atmosphere and mood, and is often characterized by a lack of development and the use of harmonic ambiguity. The style was developed by composers such as Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel, and Erik Satie, who sought to capture fleeting moments and impressions through music. Impressionist music is often seen as a precursor to modernist music, as it rejected the forms and structures of traditional classical music.
