no, I mean replace the clarinets... re-harmonize for bassoons and horns. it requires a bit of rearranging.
for the end, what I mean is to have an "attack" on the pizz or harp (I think harp and celesta/glock would work MUCH better), but ahve sustained notes come in at the same time.. HELD notes.. not short notes. remember, in the piano part, those notes are basically held by the pedal (even if they are notated with rests, the intention is of plucked harp notes.. which continue to ring).
yes, even if the flutes are doubling a violin part, the effect will have more fullness if they are in octaves, rather than in unison.
generally, avoid unisons. they tend to diminish the quality of a sound. particularly the unison of only 2 same instruments. you will gain more richness through octave doublings, due to harmonic reinforcement.

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
