nocturnes
among french predecessors, chabrier was an important influence on debussy (as he was on ravel and poulenc); howat has written that chabrier's piano music such as "sous-bois" and "mauresque" in the "pièces pittoresques" explored new sound-worlds of which debussy made effective use 30 years later. lesure finds traces of gounod and massenet in some of debussy's early songs, and remarks that it may have been from the russians – tchaikovsky, balakirev, rimsky-korsakov, borodin and mussorgsky – that debussy acquired his taste for "ancient and oriental modes and for vivid colorations, and a certain disdain for academic rules". lesure also considers that mussorgsky's opera "boris godunov" directly influenced debussy's "pelléas et mélisande". in the music of palestrina, debussy found what he called "a perfect whiteness", and he felt that although palestrina's musical forms had a "strict manner", they were more to his taste than the rigid rules prevailing among 19th-century french composers and teachers. he drew inspiration from what he called palestrina's "harmony created by melody", finding an arabesque-like quality in the melodic lines.

a fusion of jazz with contemporary classical music came from the pen of pete rugolo, chief architect of the stan kenton progressive jazz orchestra from 1947 to 1948 and the innovations in modern music orchestra of 1950 and 1951. a student of milhaud, rugolo studied the scores of debussy, ravel, and stravinsky. the exploratory works of robert graettinger for kenton from 1947 to 1952 combine contemporary classical techniques. his use of colorful graphs and charts for big band took his music into a harmonic and rhythmic realm unknown in jazz. duke ellington's music has been compared with that of classical composers debussy, ravel, and frederick delius in impressionistic work such as "mood indigo", "dusk", and "reflections in d", as well as in more extended composed works such as "creole rhapsody", "reminiscing in tempo", and "the tattooed bride". these tendencies were shared by his collaborator, composer billy strayhorn. ukrainian pianist nikolai kapustin writes fully notated music in a jazz idiom that fuses the russian piano tradition with the virtuosic styles of art tatum and oscar peterson.
