same here; the most beautiful piece ever =Dremembered first hearing it on fantasia - and the animation on that one is just stunning (even though it spans to be 50+ years old).

Twilgiht is now, Debussy is forever. In a few years (relatively speaking), people will forget about Twilight or not care as much about it. Debussy's music has lived on for generations and generations. I doubt Twilight will be able to have that a fwe hundred years from now
