While Debussy's Nocturne "Clouds" and the music of "Sweeney Todd" by Stephen Sondheim are distinct in style and intent, Debussy's atmospheric and impressionistic qualities may have influenced Sondheim's approach to creating a dark, moody atmosphere in his work. Sondheim often draws on a wide range of musical influences, and the haunting qualities of Debussy's composition could resonate within the dramatic context of "Sweeney Todd." However, any direct inspiration is more about shared emotional expression rather than a direct connection.
