TY - JOUR A1 - Schwartzman, Gertrude T1 - Claude Debussy's opera >Pelléas et Mélisande<. Secrecy mystery and ambiguity in Debussy's life and art T2 - International Forum of Psychoanalysis, Vol. 24 (No. 1, 2016), pp. 31-39. N2 - Debussy attempted to conceal the stresses of his early life: his father leaving to fight in the Franco-Prussian War, his younger siblings being sent to live with an aunt, and Debussy remaining alone with his mother. His early-discovered musical talent provided him with a sense of continuity throughout his life. However, he felt his training at the Paris Conservatoire to be restrictive and rebelled against it in the musical style he developed. Debussy’s opera Pelléas et Mélisande gave him an opportunity to creatively depict these thwarted passions and his aversion to restriction.
