The melody line can almost certainly be regarded as a song. Therefore, produce full and clear tones (not in the sense of marcato, but rather in a singing manner), and play the accompaniment as if a cello were sustaining a note.
Since the sound is to be sustained, an attack sound is inherently unnecessary; however, due to the nature of the piano, an attack inevitably occurs the moment the key is depressed. As a solution, play the left hand as softly as possible (pp), yet listen for the sustained sound.
Consequently, if the tempo becomes too slow, both hands will sound quite rigid. Without a certain tempo, the attack sounds will become very prominent, sustaining the left-hand notes will become a laborious task, and shaping the right-hand line will become extremely challenging. Please be very careful not to play too slowly.
Measures 7-8 should be considered as resonance (afterglow/reverberation). Therefore, do not consider this a melody line. For these two measures, play with a soft tone quality, significantly reducing the volume to pp.
