Berlioz and Debussy are two of the most innovative figures in French music of the 19th and early 20th centuries. They stand out for their original contributions in areas such as orchestral colour and instrumentation. A consideration of these two figures side by side reveals the range, diversity and distinctiveness of French music during this period.
