Debussy's Life and Loves 

Ah, my dear Debussy. How I long to visit Saint-Germain-en-Laye, the museum, Paris, to walk in Debussy’s footsteps, to be inspired by being where my personal muse lived. I have had a love affair with Debussy’s music since I was a teen. Hendrix sang of music as I feel about music in his blues-rock masterpiece Manic Depression as he soulfully mourned, “music, sweet music, I wish I could caress with a kiss...” Were music a woman, I’d be forever in love. Thank you for sharing!

So happy to know more about my favorite composer of all time ! Thank you ❤

He is the best

My very favorite piano pieces. It trully is a must before you die. Listen and I assure you that youll love it.

Great work, beautiful insight on Debussy's life and loves.

humbly, the first impressionist composer, a legend

Thank you for the video! Well done :D

That woman on the photo was Russian wealthy widow. Her name was Fon Meck, Nadezhda Filaretovna. It doesn't matter with debussy. It's relationship with Tchaikovsky.

Why has there never been a masterful biopic of Debussy?

Does anyone have additional information about the photograph of young Debussy shown at the 1:50 mark? I'm very confused by it because, on one hand, it doesn't look (at least to me) like any other pictures I've seen of Debussy as a young man, and secondly because, well, I have to admit that he looks a lot like me when I was younger! I find this "resemblance" shocking, especially since he's by far my favourite composer :0

His last residence is now in Avenue Foche (formerly Avenue Boulogne), almost at the edge of the Bois de Boulogne. It is a bit of a detective work to find it. You have to enter a closed yard, waiting for someone to exit, so that you can slip in - and there in the far corner, you can spot it behind a gate - exactly as on the photos. Nothing has changed. It belongs to some Arab princess today - of course, one is tempted to say.

Why so short? Such a shame.

Debussy (1862 - 1918). Tchaikovsky (1840 - 1893). Debussy have two successful marriages. One of debussy marriage relationship was Emma Bardac. Another of debussy marriage relationship was Rosalie Texier, non Nadezhda Filaretovna von Meck

Sorry, but...at minute 1:55, that photo looks NOTHING like the young Claude Debussy! - his father, perhaps? I hope you can clarify this for me - Thank You.

Debussy's first wife Emma Bardac was french famous singer. Tchaikovsky's first wife Antonina Miliukova was saint petersburg music conservatory music composition faculty student. Debussy's second wife Rosalie Texier was french businesswoman similar Russian businesswoman Nadezhda Filaretovna von Meck. Their rank of entrepreneur were similar to same, but their life were different. Rosalie Texier was not widow and Nadezhda Filaretovna von Meck was widow who lost her husband. So that Tchaikovsky just only have one successful marriage.

Which version is the la mer? It sounds so unique😍

Debussy one was in French. Fon Meck, Nadezhda Filaretovna another was in Russian. How could it be possible to determine the relationship？

Who is the person in the pic at 1:47 ? He doesn't look like Debussy at all.

what is the music in 2:35 ?

Nothing about Chou Chou!

Don't misunderstand that woman on the photo
