1. His insistence that the composer be treated as an artist, not as a servant.
2. His expansion of the orchestra: adding new instruments (piccolo, trombones, contrabassoon), and adding voices (as in the finale to Symphony #9)
3. His use of a very personal expressive style, with more dynamic contrast, greater harmonic vocabulary
4. His extension of forms, even adding new themes in the coda, effectively turning the coda into another development section.
5. His raising the bar for future composers; challenging musicians of future generations to find something unique to say, musically
Yes, Beethoven's family had a musical background. His father, Johann van Beethoven, was a tenor singer and a music teacher who attempted to train Beethoven from a young age. Additionally, Beethoven's grandfather, Ludwig van Beethoven, was a notable musician and served as a court musician in Bonn, further contributing to the family's musical legacy. This environment likely influenced Beethoven's early development as a composer and pianist.
Beethoven's legacy to the Western World was his new musical ideas no one had tried before like adding choral voices to the orchestra in the last movement of his ninth symphony. He is also inspiring because even though he couldn't hear, he could still write music. there is some extra info ;)

Johannes Brahms is often considered to be paying tribute to Ludwig van Beethoven, the prominent German composer who preceded him. Brahms admired Beethoven's work and sought to build upon his legacy, particularly in the symphonic and chamber music forms. This homage is evident in Brahms's compositions, which blend classical structure with rich emotional depth, reflecting Beethoven's influence on his musical development.
