* FollowTheLeader: Berlioz codified many of the structural and orchestral innovations of the Romantic Era that would be expanded upon by later composers. For example, Berlioz composed leitmotifs in ''Music/SymphonieFantastique'' and other works before Wagner's operas, and his treatise on orchestration was highly influencial in developing the modern orchestra.

* DevelopmentHell: ''Les Troyens'' took years to get past bureaucracies to the stage, the Paris Opera kept hemming and hawwing on it. Berlioz then had to cut his opera into two different works (the sack of Troy had to be completely dropped), and only ever saw ''Les Troyens à Carthage'' (acts 3-5) staged during his lifetime. A full premiere for ''Les Troyens'' wouldn't be seen until 1890, 21 years after Berlioz's death. Even before that, he thought of an opera based on the Aeneid for years, and Virgil was never far from his mind even in his childhood. It wasn't until the 1850s when he finally composed it.
