Claude Debussy--France

  French composer Claude Debussy wanted to leave the listener with an impression rather than an answer.  His melodies are almost always small fragments and the beat of the music is often irregular.  “Footprints in the Snow” is meant to create the atmosphere of a lonely, monotonous, snow-covered landscape.  A slow tempo and soft dynamics help to paint this picture.
