Claude Debussy (22 August 1862 – 25 March 1918) was one of the great innovators of his time, and remains a concert staple.
Il pleure dans mon cœur
“He drove two women towards attempted suicides, and was completely incapable of selfless love for anyone except his daughter.” – Georg Predota, “Debussy’s Wives: Rosalie Texier and Emma Bardac” (https://interlude.hk/debussys-wives/)
Claude Debussy’s amorous passions
Were conducted with gross impropriety.
He rejected the marital fashions
Of proper Parisian society.
He treated his partners deplorably,
And tossed them aside on a whim,
And that the fact that he acted so horribly
Was of utmost indifference to him.
