You are heading toward more of a fugue with the ascending motive you introduced here, which by its own nature lends itself to a more extended fugal development than what you had before, which was more akin to a compact, probably shorter, rhythmically more florid ricercar. You know the difference between a fugue like a Bach fugue for instance, and the older, shorter ricercars, with multiple expositions. You have gone more in the direction of a fugue here, whereas you had a convincing basis for a smaller ricercar in your previous version. I think that distinction is pretty clear. Just as a personal observation, I liked what you had done before better.
