Ravel orchestration (Menuet sur le nom d'Haydn)

Hi to all.

Here's my latest attempt at orchestration practice.

This one's from a piano miniature by Ravel. 
Haven't put all the slurs and fermatas in yet; but it's otherwise more or less complete.

Hi @Alex Weidmann!

Ah, so you decided to try your hand at yet another Ravel piece to orchestrate!  This time on a piece he wrote based on a transliteration of Haydn's name!  I listened to the original by Ravel, and its duration is only about 2 minutes, while your orchestration is twice as long!  And when listening to your orchestration, I definitely have the impression that it's being played too slow.  I'm not saying up the tempo everywhere.  Ravel's original was I think subject to some rubato tempo and rubato tempo is something that is possible for orchestra as well, not just in a solo piano piece.  They way I would apply rubato is to literally put rit.'s and accel.'s where appropriate throughout the score.  It could bring so much more life and vitality to the music if you did that.  Thanks for sharing!
