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

5. His raising the bar for future composers; challenging musicians of future generations to find something unique to say, musically
