He is sometimes seen as the first <a href="/wiki/Impressionism_in_music" title="Impressionism in music">Impressionist</a> composer, although he vigorously rejected the term. He was among the most influential composers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. </p><p>Born to a family of modest means and little cultural involvement, Debussy showed enough musical talent to be admitted at the age of ten to France's leading music college, the <a href="/wiki/Conservatoire_de_Paris" title="Conservatoire de Paris">Conservatoire de Paris</a>. He originally studied the piano, but found his vocation in innovative composition, despite the disapproval of the Conservatoire's conservative professors. He took many years to develop his mature style, and was nearly 40 when he achieved international fame in 1902 with the only opera he completed, <i><a href="/wiki/Pell%C3%A9as_et_M%C3%A9lisande_(opera)" title="Pelléas et Mélisande (opera)">Pelléas et Mélisande</a></i>. </p><p>Debussy's orchestral works include <i><a href="/wiki/Pr%C3%A9lude_%C3%A0_l%27apr%C3%A8s-midi_d%27un_faune" title="Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune">Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune</a></i> (1894), <i><a href="/wiki/Nocturnes_(Debussy)" title="Nocturnes (Debussy)">Nocturnes</a></i> (1897–1899) and <i><a href="/wiki/Images_pour_orchestre" title="Images pour orchestre">Images</a></i> (1905–1912). His music was to a considerable extent a reaction against <a href="/wiki/Richard_Wagner" title="Richard Wagner">Wagner</a> and the German musical tradition. He regarded the classical <a href="/wiki/Symphony" title="Symphony">symphony</a> as obsolete and sought an alternative in his "symphonic sketches", <i><a href="/wiki/La_mer_(Debussy)" title="La mer (Debussy)">La mer</a></i> (1903–1905). His piano works include sets of 24 <a href="/wiki/Pr%C3%A9ludes_(Debussy)" title="Préludes (Debussy)">Préludes</a> and 12 <a href="/wiki/%C3%89tudes_(Debussy)" title="Études (Debussy)">Études</a>. Throughout his career he wrote <i><a href="/wiki/M%C3%A9lodie" title="Mélodie">mélodies</a></i> based on a wide variety of poetry, including his own. He was greatly influenced by the <a href="/wiki/Symbolism_(movement)" title="Symbolism (movement)">Symbolist</a> poetic movement of the later 19th century. A small number of works, including the early <i><a href="/wiki/La_Damoiselle_%C3%A9lue" title="La Damoiselle élue">La Damoiselle élue</a></i> and the late <i><a href="/wiki/Le_Martyre_de_saint_S%C3%A9bastien" title="Le Martyre de saint Sébastien">Le Martyre de saint Sébastien</a></i> have important parts for chorus. In his final years, he focused on chamber music, completing three of <a href="/wiki/Six_sonatas_for_various_instruments" title="Six sonatas for various instruments">six planned sonatas for different combinations of instruments</a>. </p><p>With early influences including Russian and Far Eastern music and works by <a href="/wiki/Chopin" class="mw-redirect" title="Chopin">Chopin</a>, Debussy developed his own style of harmony and orchestral colouring, derided – and unsuccessfully resisted – by much of the musical establishment of the day. His works have strongly influenced a wide range of composers including <a href="/wiki/B%C3%A9la_Bart%C3%B3k" title="Béla Bartók">Béla Bartók</a>, <a href="/wiki/Olivier_Messiaen" title="Olivier Messiaen">Olivier Messiaen</a>, <a href="/wiki/George_Benjamin_(composer)" title="George Benjamin (composer)">George Benjamin</a>, and the jazz pianist and composer <a href="/wiki/Bill_Evans" title="Bill Evans">Bill Evans</a>.
