Good work! And so fast too~
From this I have a clearer idea on what we can work on. I see that you're really entrenched in classical rhythms, though your sense of harmony/etc is got a modern spin to it.
You're using also imitation techniques, and such other things, which is all fine. However, I think we should loosen you up some, specially the rhythms.
It works like this, we'll now use a technique taken from serialism, which is apply a specific set of numbers to a sequence of musical parameters. In this case, you're again free to write whatever pitches/instruments you want, that's not defined. However, the note durations are going to be defined by a number row.
You also get to choose your own row, and what it means. For example, a row of 5:
1 = quarter
2 = Whole
3 = 16th
4 = dotted 8th
5 = half
And, you can organize the sequence in whatever way you want. First as 12345, but then can be 54321, or in any order, or repeating numbers even. The idea is that you play around with it, again, don't make a piece, but rather a sketch or treat it as an exercise with a limited number of variations for the row. Remember that you are free to pick, again, what instruments and what actual note pitches are played. The only set-down parameter are the note durations, and the row you created.
Keep in mind, that there's no "wrong" or "adequate" exercise outcome for these things. So, don't worry about it and go crazy.
Post the row you used, as well as files (midi/pdf/mus) like before.
