Compound Melody
[Pg 1 - Continued]
=) The upper voice in the R.H.
The phrase structure for this section of the piece was not very definitive, as in four-bars or eight bars structure, but in this section, when the phrase almost seems to end [e.g. in bar 8], it moves on again in the 2nd beat to another phrase joined by a quaver in between the G and the B note.
The flow of this piece is almost continuous with short or no breaks [as in referring to musical space/ silence/ rest] in between sections.

DOT, you've picked out the notes that connect to form some of the underlying voices. For the top voice, comment on the melodic contour and notice its impact on the overall shape of this opening. Do check the melodic lines again, you'll discover what you have missed out.
Re you lower-voice reading, don't forget your key signature when reading the notes!!!
