reflection of a music student about his/her own composition
I knew that a nocturne is in one movement but decided by way of contrast to have a more moody, unsettled central section (ABA). So the opening (and closing) melody is calm and ***expansive***, whereas the second melody is more restricted in pitch. I also gave the second more silences so that it ‘stuttered’ more.
What is the sense here?

spacious
Spacious, in this case through the use of a wide range of notes (from low to high in pitch). I think this is the explanation because of the contrast indicated by "whereas the second melody is more restricted in pitch".
