26 / 80
Three years went by. The
rhythms
of
the
Javanese
gamelans continued to haunt the
composer. In 1892, Debussy finally
produced his string quartet, filled
with the colors of the Far East and
impressions of Russia, where the
young man had spent summers.
In June of this same year, he
eliminated his Achille’s heel and
finally become “Claude Debussy.”
