He’s the one who really opened up the notion of what the chromatic scale can do. He has a very particular style of employing color and kaleidoscopic movement that is so subtle but irrepressible. It’s so light... and seemingly incoherent, and enjoyable nonetheless. But it’s the perceived dissonance that is resolved in a very structured style. It lends itself to further dissonance and resolution being slightly obscured by the use of passing and leading notes as roots and the implication of chords.

He truly embodied impressionism in this sense. Every Datbussy composition reminds me of a Monet painting with the usage of light applied to sound.
Lol, I use many words when few will do.
Your two sentences nailed it. Thank you for translating for me. (I’m a native English speaker, btw. Lol.)
Being able to describe the hazy dissonance that's still organised is a better description of what he's doing. My comparison only makes sense if people know what Monet was doing.
played one of his preludes in a chamber group and I had a total of 10 notes in a 25 minute piece :) at least it was pretty to listen to
