Debussy is one of the greatest composers in France. He reformed the traditional knowledge and power of harmony and melodies. His music is to suggest ideas or associate thoughts. And is also the combination of lots of colors and tones, and atmosphere being baked. His unequalled skills brighten a brand new filed of contemporary music of the 20th century.

Though the rise of Russian ballet is late almost two thousand years to the European ballet. But ballet became larger and more complete after it streamed into Russia in the later half of the 17th century. Diaghilev created The World of Art, which was an art group and avant-grade magazine. He is also the founder and head of The Ballets Russes. The Ballets Russes caused a ballet revolution which is unprecedented in history. It influenced the whole actions and development of ballet in that century.

Nijinsky was generally accepted to be the greatest male dancer in the 20th century. Debussy expressed the sensual desire to the nymphs from the faune in his early works "Prélude à l’après midi d’un faune". Nijinsky''s choreographerization did not obey those rules from the past. It''s an epoch in the ballet history. Debussy composed Jeux which was another import works in his late period. It describes emotional affairs by tennis. It is the first modem ballet topic. Authorities on history treat Nijinsky as the pioneer of the fashion choreographer.

The artist atmosphere and musical development on that time was deeply affected by The Ballets Russes. Debussy''s music plays an important role in Diaghilev''s operations. He not only engages in musical atmosphere, but also expounds the dance very much through his music. Ballet grows rich and becomes successful due to combining all kinds of arts including music, dance, dressing, and stage designation.

I will discuss them among this thesis; find out the relationships between music, dance, and so on, and look into these kinds of artists.
