I really like this piece, and not just because it is well-written, but also because I loved the dark emotions it evokes: pain and urgency. You have a real talent for slowly building up from the low strings to some interesting climaxes. Also, I applaud your skillful use of the woodwinds both as solo instruments and as a group. My only even slightly negative comment is that some of the transitions, as the other responses have pointed out, punctuate sharply, especially in the opening. But really that just gives the piece a distinctive sound. I would keep everything more or less the way it is. I imagine this would be beautiful performed live. Good job.
