March 20, 20205 yr One thing I can say is that sometimes it is unclear what harmony is fitting with the melody. For example in bar 3 both the left and right hand play a D, so it doesn't sound clear what the chord is (I'm guessing G?). Whereas bar 6, the B and G together show that it is G major resolving into C (which is why two Cs works, as it's clear where the melody/harmony is leading). Its a nice little piece but sometimes can be a bit ambiguous. I'm not the best with musical theory so this is just a suggestion and may be wrong ITO theory.
March 22, 20205 yr The voice leading rules aren't the only thing in that book. The chord construction ones are also important and there are a lot of tones that function as accented non chord tones when the main tone they embellish is itself a non chord tone.
