This is a great piece for a fledgling composer to have written. There are some nice moments, and you have some real talent for texture.
The horn parts are a bit awkward in a number of places. The line is either awkward, or they are playing in the extreme upper register for lengthy periods without rest.
I liked the contrast in the 2nd movement with the gentler and more aggressive sections.
The middle of the 1st movement lost interest. In future pieces, you might consider that for extended works modulating to newer, more remote key areas can keep a listener attentive as they provide contrast. In the 2nd movement I didn't lose interest, because there was a clear contrast (this time with dynamics, instrumentation, and texture instead of harmonic areas) that keep me interested.
Good work!
