Best Answer

Beethoven was the first composer to introduce the piccolo Flute, trombones and double bassoon to the concert orchestra. His 5th symphony in C minor (Op 67) is the first ever symphonic composition to use these instruments. Following him, Wagner and Berlioz made the orchestra even larger which influenced Mahler to write his massive symphonies for a gigantic orchestra.

Beethoven attended to what university?

No. Beethoven, like most of his contemporaries, did not go to college. Colleges are a relatively modern institution. Music students in the 1700s and 1800s may have sometimes received instruction in conservatoriums, but Beethoven was not one of these.
