1st mov - good job! very sophisticated and fun to listen! full of very neat expressions too. you didn't put a single tone extra, and you acheved a full tone. some parts i felt needed a little more backround music, like the violin solo near the ending. but still very nice !
2nd mov - melody isn't as interesting as the 1st movements', but it has a nice dose of emotion in it and the orchestarization shows it really well, sepecialy in the second part. however the string are way to repetitive... i would advise you to change their accompamnient in the first part, or just a couple of measures, so that sort of goes in to be more complex later and in that way get effect. but then again, maybe it would sound better and more sofisticated in real performanceim not sure. but still enjoyable to listen.
3rd mov - fun to listen to, inovative, and has a neat ending! too short for me to say much, but i like it the way it is dont change a thing!
4th mov - my favoriteof all 4! It's sound is richer then the first 3 ( exception the end of 3rd), it also has a variating mood, so i it amused me much more then the 1st and 2nd. I loved the melodies in the middle and the changing of the lead and harmony between woodwinds and strings. Orchestration is very rich and the ending is energetic, yet not overdone! Really a classical ending, loved this mov.
Overall - this is a really nice way to start! remarks - the first movement isn't a very effective start, and even though it's good, i found it to be more scherzy then masteroso. Personaly i would fancy a more effective start to get me interested, but as the piece progresses it gets neater and neater so i guess this way is ok too. and somehow i expected a more mahler-like symphony from a guy that nicknamed himself "Mahlertitan"
.
Well - all in all a good start! keep it up!
