Ravel was known for having a formal structure; while Debussy did not stick to any specific form or structure. People often considered Debussy to be more of the improvisation due to the lack of traditional form and rhythmicized time. Ravel often used Ternary Form of Dance or the Sonata Form which are both types of structured forms. Ternary form is three (3) part (A-B-A), where the first and third part are almost the the same. Debussy occasionally used Ternary form, but often expressed new ideas in themes which made his work less-unified as one. In order to unify his composition, Debussy threw in recurring themes instead of using formal structure.

Debussy's Prelude a l'Apres-Midi d'un Faun is an orchestra piece in the impressionist style.
While Debussy's Nocturne "Clouds" and the music of "Sweeney Todd" by Stephen Sondheim are distinct in style and intent, Debussy's atmospheric and impressionistic qualities may have influenced Sondheim's approach to creating a dark, moody atmosphere in his work. Sondheim often draws on a wide range of musical influences, and the haunting qualities of Debussy's composition could resonate within the dramatic context of "Sweeney Todd." However, any direct inspiration is more about shared emotional expression rather than a direct connection.
