Hi again @Gabriel Carlisle!   Good to see you again!

Regarding your score, I have some nit-picks:

In the very beginning, French Horns do not read in Tenor Clef (also, are you British?  Asking because your score is in concert pitch, and if you had the Horns in F it would alleviate some of the problems that are causing you to use Tenor and Treble Ottava Bassa clef which Horn players don't usually read)  In meas. 69 - 70 the F#'s should be Gb's, and same in meas. 77 - 78 F#'s.

As far as the music is concerned - brilliant piece!  Very affecting modal mixture appropriate for Romantic era music.  The melodies are lovely and dance-like as well.  Very fitting of a composer hoping to get his foot in the door in ballet music!  Many parts are quite jubilant and celebratory - great victorious moods full of tension and release.  The ending was a bit drawn out for my taste, but I am biased towards succinct endings that get to the point quickly which is perhaps not a norm common to Romantic era music.  Thanks for sharing and good luck in your endeavors!
