I found this in a CD liner note. "the work shows the influence of Beethoven in its dramatic contrasts and its feeling for large scale tonal organization."

What does this mean?

TIA

"Large scale tonal organization" refers to planned key relations extended in time. Relating the first and last movement in symphonies for example. Mozart and Beethoven did this a lot.
