Beethoven composed his first symphony at age 30. You will find heavy references to Mozart and Haydn (Wiener Klassik), particularily when listening to instrumentation and overall setting of the themes. In later compositions you will find that Beethoven varies the stricly tectonic structure and also uses different instrumentation (i.e. choir).
