Best Answer

Eastern music first began influencing Western music at the end of the Romantic Period. Actually, this influence is what caused Impressionism. Claude Debussy was at a great exhibition, and noticed one of their instruments. This instrument required several people to play, and used the pentatonic scale was used. Debussy enjoyed the music so much, he thought he would try to imitate the sound of the instrument using a western scale. Viola! The impressionistic period was born!
