Debussysm

English Etymology From en Debussy -ism. Noun - The musical style or conception of art of Claude Debussy. en 1915 René Chalupt Paris Letter The Chesterian 279 https://books.google.com/books?id=9alDAQAAMAAJ The "Société Nationale" and the "S.M.I." shared the honour of introducing to their members a number of important novelties, and the inevitable abundance of amateur efforts and students' exercises among them cannot make us disregard the presence of some works of real value and, above all, the tradition of continuous renovation of French music which manifests itself, if not by the introduction of a new language as at the appearance of Debussysm, at any rate by a constant flow of fresh ideas. en 1953 Victor Seroff Maurice Ravel 117 https://books.google.com/books?id=NEMIAQAAMAAJ Actually, the so-called present "Debussysm" is only a phase of the eternal process between the consonance and dissonance. Therefore, one who would consider intervals of a fourth or sixth as consonant intervals, or who would introduce the interval of a third in a final chord, is already in his own way "doing Debussysm." en 1972 Betty Laura Schwimmer Jean Cocteau 7 https://books.google.com/books?id=n2pKAQAAMAAJ In 1918, however, with Wagnerism and Debussysm pervading art, his reaction was more simplistic: the opening statement of "Le Coq" is "L'art c'est la science faite chair".
