Hmmm. So you are saying that my *intended* dissonances in the meno mosso section were not appropriate in context of the entire piece and that I should write it almost entirely consonantly? I can do that.. because the melody is in the treble and the bass is there for movement mainly.

Yes, I understand it would be very difficult to play. I asked a few people and they said that it is possible with some practice and a good pianist, but I don't know for sure.

For the last question, I find it hard to compress my ideas onto the piano because I tend to think of many voices being played at once and it is impossible to play with four voices apart by a tenth on a piano. I had to lower the number of voices to write this. I chose to write this because it was what was in my head. It was something that I wanted to do.

Could you please give me some examples of areas of bad counterpoint outside of the meno mosso section?
