Ok guys, this time I really need a little help; I'm trying to write a bass line but... the transition between the two themes isn't marked haha and I'm having a bit of a crisis trying to catch the exact point where it modulates!!
Here is the bass line, a little help would be very much appreciated! In short, I'm having difficulty overlapping the two themes in the bass; one comes out more or less even though I removed a significant doubling in what I think is the end of the first theme, but I've gotten stuck on the second one

> the transition between the two themes is not marked
If not, where is the beauty?
At this moment I don't have time to look at it, but there isn't always the possibility of using fragments in double counterpoint; it is not certain that the second element is contiguous to the first, nor is it certain that the second presents itself in the home key.
Therefore, in my opinion, you need to explore the material better.

Quickly seen, I would evaluate the A, Bb, G etc. of measure 4 to fit into the last quarter of measure one
So close to the first progression? In practice, it is more of a free part than anything else in that case... even if as a bass compared to those from Naples, it is short...
The first two measures fit perfectly with the fourth and fifth if written in the same key, and also the third with the sixth measure, but not entirely, so theme B begins at the fourth measure; try playing it in E major (that is, G# Eb D# C# B etc...) and you will see that the fit is excellent.
