I have always enjoyed Debussy's work. I think a comment he once made, that ‘the music is the stuff between the notes’ goes a long way to explaining his approach. That the timing and tempo of a piece are integral to the effect regardless of tonality.

Or as Miles said, "Don't play what's there; play what's not there."
