Leonard Bernstein looked up to several influential figures in music, but one of his primary inspirations was Gustav Mahler, whose symphonic works deeply impacted Bernstein's own compositions and conducting style. Bernstein also admired the works of Igor Stravinsky and Aaron Copland, both of whom shaped American music. In addition, he had great respect for his mentors, such as Serge Koussevitzky, who was instrumental in his early career, and the legendary conductor Arturo Toscanini.
