His music was influenced by literature trends at that time, especially by the Impressionism and the Symbolism. The twelve etudes were Debussy''s master compositions for piano solo in his late period. After his creative peak period, Debussy’s music style has a tendency to return to the absolute music. These twelve etudes fuse both western and oriental nontraditional music materials. Therefore, the twelve etudes could be considered as most noticeable auditory aesthetics in his works for piano. In this thesis, Debussy’s life background and his music styles were introduced. And then, five piano pieces from the etudes:〈pour les cinq doigts〉、〈pour les tierces〉、〈pour les degrés chromatiques〉、〈pour les notes répétées〉 and 〈pour les arpèges composés〉 were selected for analysis and interpretation. After exploration and research of these selected compositions, the appreciation and understanding Debussy’s piano music was further enhanced. Keywords: Debussy、Impressionism、Symbolism、Etudes
