What time period would these pieces be considered to be from?

Hello I was just windering what time period these pieces would be considered to be from. Thank-you!

Rachmaninoff - Prelude in C#
Debussy - Children's Corner and Suite Bergamasque

Rachmaninoff = Romantic

Debussy = Impressionistic. 

Although some (Debussy too) don't like Impressionistic.  Maybe there's an argument that he's Romantic or pointing toward modern ideas.  But the cookiecutter answer is above.

Chronologically speaking, Rachmaninov spent around half his life in the 20th Century. Though, his pieces are composed and meant to be played in a late Romantic style. If you were playing Rachmaninov for say, an audition where pieces from different periods are required, you may want to check if they consider Rachmaninov 20th C or Romantic.

Debussy was an impressionistic composer who is considered by some to be late Romantic also.

With regards to the piece you have mentioned, I could say they could both be considered in the Romantic era.
