Gustav Mahler is a composer known for significantly expanding the size of the orchestra in his symphonic works. His innovations included the use of larger string sections, expanded brass and woodwind instruments, and the incorporation of percussion, which added depth and complexity to orchestral sound. Mahler's compositions, particularly his symphonies, set new standards for orchestral scale and texture, influencing future generations of composers.
