Etymology
The term "el impresionismo" originates from the French word 'impressionnisme,' initially used to describe a style of painting that emphasized light and color impressions. This concept was later applied to music in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to describe compositions that similarly evoke moods and atmospheres rather than detailed representations.
