Debussy's music is often characterized by its impressionistic qualities, emphasizing atmosphere, color, and fluidity, with a focus on tonality and modal scales. In contrast, Schoenberg is known for pioneering atonality and the twelve-tone technique, which abandoned traditional harmonic structures in favor of a more abstract, serial approach to composition. While Debussy's works evoke imagery and emotion through lush harmonies, Schoenberg's music often challenges listeners with its complexity and dissonance. Ultimately, Debussy seeks to create a dreamlike experience, whereas Schoenberg aims to explore new musical languages and forms.

How did Ravel's music differ from the music of Debussy?

Ravel's music is all 'bigger' than Debussy's. It's more layered, more subtle, more romantic, sexier, etc. But, Ravel's music lacks the charm and unassuming creativity of Debussy's music. Debussy's music reminds me a lot of Mozart in that it always retains its dignity, even when it is very emotional.
