Set in the late 19th century, the narrative explores Claude Debussy's transformative summers with Madame von Meck, a prominent patron of Russian music. His exposure to the Russian composers known as The Five deepened his understanding of their unique style, which sought to establish a distinct Russian identity in music. The book highlights how Debussy integrated specific Russian musical gestures into his own works, some of which became foundational elements in his compositional style, reflecting a blend of cultural influences.
