  nature in terms of the cylinder, the sphere and
  the cone.

Impressionist Music

• Claude Debussy
• Elusive moods and haunting sensations
• Debussys musical compositions were often
  inspired by the visual arts and poetry
• Igor Stravinsky
• Ballets based on Russian folk tales (such as
  Petrushka)
• Unusual dancing, pulsating rhythms, sharp
  dissonances. Irrational and emotional. Quite hip.
