    How perfect, how can something have such a truth? Debussy said "Works of art makes rules; rules do not make works of art." I am so grateful for his romantic impressionist approach to music, during a time when others were way too restricted.

      Funny, cause for me thats at 1:50, mostly cause the harmonies are much darker here and it higlights the almost painful melody, but In your case its the opposite, the harmony is much brighter and it clashes, not in a bad way, with the melody

      @@ryacoli WRONG, you cannot stand in a field of wheat or rye chaffs. The lovely description given by @Dedra Kaye DeHart is perfectly ok and referred to the peasant girls standing in a field of uncut wheat or rye and was poetically expressed in her own way. Chaff is created AFTER the wheat or Rye has been cut down and processed.
      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaff
      e.g Chaff (/tʃæf/; also UK: /tʃɑːf/)[1] is the dry, scaly protective casing of the seeds of cereal grains, or similar fine, dry, scaly plant material such as scaly parts of flowers, or finely chopped straw. Chaff is indigestible by humans, but livestock can eat it and in agriculture it is used as livestock fodder, or is a waste material ploughed into the soil or burned.
