Stravinsky came immediately to my mind too (I would have said "Rites of Spring") but he's not pre-20th Century. Firebird Suite was published in 1910.
So, I'll go with Tchaikovsky's
1812 Overture, which debuted in 1882 and was probably very influential on a lot of the 20th Century composers from Stravinsky to Ives to maybe even the Futurists.
