I will add a couple of general things . Classical music is always either going to someplace or coming from someplace, plan your phrases accordingly. Conductors act as "architects" putting those phrases together to move as units to some place and away from it, so that each movement has a direction as a whole and direction for each phrase. Have a plan, all F's are not created equal, your movement or piece needs to have an apex. Be your own best conductor, once you have a plan for the phrases, make the movement or piece work as a whole.
In terms of dynamics where you leave off a phrase is where you start the next phrase, unless there is a dynamic marking to tell you otherwise.
