Claude Debussy was a famed composer from the early 20th century and was know as the first impressionist composer.  in 1873 he entered the Paris Conservatory, and in 1884, he won the Grand Prix de Rome with his cantata L’Enfant prodigue (The Prodigal Child). His early style is well illustrated in one of Debussy’s best-known compositions, Clair de lune.  Debussy’s illegitimate daughter, Claude-Emma, was born in 1905. He had divorced Lily Texier in 1904 and then married his daughter’s mother, Emma Bardac. Ashamed by the gossip and scandal coming from this situation, he sought rescue for a time at Eastbourne, on the south coast of England. He wrote the piano suite Children’s Corner (1908) for his daughter, nicknamed Chouchou). His formulation of the “21-note scale” was designed to “drown” the sense of tonality. In his last works, the piano pieces En blanc et noir, (1915; In Black and White) and in the Douze Études (1915; “Twelve Études”), Debussy  moved into forms of composition that would later be developed in the styles of Stravinsky and the Hungarian composer Béla Bartók.
