How did Claude Debussy's music challenge traditional forms?

Debussy challenged traditional musical forms through his use of unconventional scales and harmonies, such as whole tone scales and pentatonic melodies, which moved away from the structured tonality of Romantic music. His emphasis on subtlety, color, and non-linear progression inspired future innovations and new approaches in music composition.
