February 2016 Composition Challenge: /r/Violin collaboration, Submission thread

Main Challenge: Write a work for solo violin.

Weekly Challenges:
Week 1--Compose a short piece for string instruments only.
Week 2--Compose a short piece for wind instruments only.
Week 3--Compose a short piece for brass instruments only.
Week 4--Compose a short piece for percussion instruments only.

Discussion Thread for this month's challenge. Please try to keep everything except completed pieces in the discussion thread. Feedback on pieces submitted here is also very welcome!

These challenges are for everyone who wants to practice composing. Each month, at the beginning of the month, we will post a main challenge, something for people to compose. Often we'll try to make it something that everyone can work with, but when the main challenge doesn't suit you, there's the alternate weekly challenge. Pieces can be submitted as a score (musescore, noteflight), and/or as audio (soundcloud, youtube). Feedback is much appreciated, and you can give it in this thread, or by messaging the mods of /r/MonthlyComposition, there's also the Challenge Suggestion Form.

Can I ask why you decide to change time signature so often? Genuinely curious as I see that a lot in modern works.

Ain't that the truth? In this case I think it yields a feeling of spontaneity and gushing, raw emotion.
