Debussy's music is characterized by harmonies and tonal colors that create an atmosphere or mood, rather than a traditional melody and harmony structure. The use of innovative harmonies and tonal colors creates a sense of fluidity and movement in the music, despite its static nature. This style of music is often referred to as impressionism.
