I really like the opening gesture with the tutti and first violin leaps. That'll sound really good with an actual string quartet. As far as the fugue, I don't know, I feel more could be done with it. If you want an example of a 20th century fugue, listen to the 4th movement of Barber's piano sonata, a perfect example I think. It's not in the same stylistic vein exactly as what you're going for here, but it can still give you ideas of how to inject your fugue with that same inventiveness that you had in the Fantasy. Either way, this is quite good, the Fantasy is very interesting and satisfying. It's actually neo-classical, not just a trite failed imitation of early Beethoven like you might normally see people attempt. Congrats.
