What are your thoughts on the Impressionist era?
People don't talk enough about the genius of Claude Debussy or Maurice Ravel as much as they should. Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit is one of the hardest things written for piano, and so different musically. Debussy was a master of color, and hiding the rhythm in his music.
Also were there any other impressionist composers besides these 2? I'm sure there are, but please let me know of any you know and like. And your thought about this era.
