I have no doubt that this has been all well thought out and think this is a very good piece, but from the point of view of a listener I also think that it would be more satisfying if you "put more in there"...

You really can't judge a piece from the midi...
Especially since I don't take the time to make sure the MIDI sounds good, considering how counterproductive that is. The midi does not make musical choice, or play with direction, or expression. Nor can I get the RESONANCE that happens when the trumpet players into the piano and stops playing. There is a high level of drama and excitement in this movement, and I would hardly consider that last gesture boring. Also, there are other things in here that just HAVE to be done by a performer, I'm not going to over-notate for the sake of a more "proper" sounding midi and wind up having a performer who can read my scores.
