I think large portions of the piece could use some beefing up, it's a bit sparse (the strings, particularly, seem poorly thought out). I don't think the timpani part is particularly well thought out... if played as written, you will most likely not hear what you expect. The Bb Trumpets are an anomaly... the usual orchestral trumpets are in C, and players will usually play them on a C trumpet regardless if you indicate a Bb trumpet.

The score has layout issues. A transposed score is a must, there's no excuse for a C Score. In the Oboe cadenza, you need to put in rests with a fermata for the remainder of the orchestra.
