Movement I: Oboe & Horn, m.34-35, the beat is obscured. In m.35 on beats 5 & 6 (oboe) and beats 3-6 (horn), you've written a confusing figure and you should change the way you notate it to be more readable. I guarantee that it will be played wrong and waste plenty of rehearsal time with the way you've notated it. Also, on page 2 & 3, the 5/8 measures are beamed incorrectly and are confusing.

Movement II: Horn, m.15-17, no need to have the indication "gestopft", that's why you have the '+' signs. Instead of "offen" in m.18, just put the '°' sign on the first open note. Same thing in m.35, no need to have both "gestopft" and '+'.

Movement III: Bassoon, m.12-13 and m.21-22, you either need to respell the B-double flat or put a courtesy accidental on the following Bb's.

Should be no problem for a good high school level or higher performer.
