The Feeling Itself: The Music of Debussy and Two Americans in Paris
Claude Debussy wrote that music "is not even the expression of a feeling, it’s the feeling itself." His new musical grammar revolutionized music and made France the center of the musical world in the early twentieth century. Both George Gershwin and Aaron Copland felt the magnetic pull toward this cultural center, and became for a time Americans in Paris.
