"Sirene," by Claude Debussy. It's easy to see how Debussy had no challenger to his special kind of dreamy, fantasy- like music. He created a music that is beautiful and ethereal, but very difficult to imitate with any degree of success or consistency. Ravel created his own style, and Satie and his followers (Les Six) tried to lower the internal temperature of impressionism through their own style of lighter, more humorous music, even to the point of sarcasm, although quite beautiful in its own way.
