印象派音乐在音乐旋律以及和声织体等方面较之其他风格有很大不同。在最初时期的印象主义艺术家们对光、水、雾等迷离变幻的事物尤为感兴趣,对物体周围的色彩、光影及气氛看得更为重要。正如绘画中的色彩和光线那样,音响和音色是印象主义音乐最终追求的。 Impressionist music in the music melody and harmony texture compared to other styles are very different. Impressionist artists in the early period were particularly interested in the flickering changes of light, water and fog, and they were even more important to the color, light and atmosphere surrounding the objects. As the colors and light in the paintings, the sound and timbre are the ultimate pursuit of impressionist music.
