 Mantovani - Biography - AOL Music
Mantovani himself began piano and music theory lessons at a young age.
By World War II, he was one of the most popular orchestra leaders in England, and in the '40s he also branched out into theater, serving as musical director for a number of productions including several by Noel Coward.
As the '60s wore on, Mantovani's brand of pleasant, light orchestral music increasingly diverged from mainstream tastes in pop, and his chart placings slipped lower and lower (his last entry was 1972's Annunzio Paolo Mantovani).

 Essentials of Music - Composers
The folk music of Hungary was central to the music of Béla Bartók.
He was not the first composer to make use of this music (we can see it as far back as Haydn), but he was one of the first to take it at face value, and to exploit its idiosyncrasies.
More important, he integrated it fully into his own style, so much so that one of his biographers talks about Bartók's music as "imaginary folk music" -- music that is wholly his own, yet of a piece with the folk music that was its inspiration.

Due to certain aspects of Debussy's style, his music is usually classified as a musical counterpart to the artistic movement known as impressionism.
In debussy's music, clearly delineated harmonic progressions, melodies, and rhythms are purposely avoided to evoke mood and atmosphere rather than concrete images.
