Impressionism

How can we tell if a piece is an impressionist?

IWBAT: Understand the elements of impressionism
Describe and explain the main features of impressionism
Develop an awareness of impressionism style and Philosophy

I am going to use the black notes on the keyboard to create a piece of impressionism.
Db Eb Gb Ab Bb

I will play these to create my composition.

while I was playing I had a lot of fun I thought that it wouldn't be nice but I loved the sound it's so calm and so nice it goes from high to low and my friends even loved it and miss told me that its good and I learned something new that no matter what you play in the black note it all makes sense and i find that so nice and its so good to hear it while your doing some work its not like a hared beat that will interrupt you while your doing the work.

I listened to Debussy's Prelude to an afternoon of faun and the similarities between my composition and this are:

They both use a  slow tempo
They both a pentatonic scale
a Romantic (impressionist) sound
They use a similar pitch
