mntvoglein, The explanation states that it wasn't written in one place. Started in France and completed in England. So that is two locations.

I was 1 q short of the full 10 and decided to go with the majority. No dice. Ah well. I would have chosen wrong too.

I had a woman on my route named Debussey, and I asked how to pronounce her name and she said, "Like whatever the music writer was." I was good to go, but I'd think she might know a little about him.

Deniece Edwards Bang, He is a well known composer of classical music. "La Mercedes is a beautiful and highly evocative work.

Deniece Edwards Bang, Claude Debussey obscure? Your education is very lacking, he is one of the most famous composers of the late 19th early 20th century

Deniece Edwards Bang, I'm sorry, but if you think Claude Debussy is "some obscure freaking person", then you know nothing about classical music! Instead of ranting out of ignorance, try picking up a book and learning something. SMH,
