May, subtitled White Nights, opens Tchaikovsky's scene with softly rolled chords and a gently swaying melody. The Andantino has a spacious, reflective character, its phrases rising toward a high pause before falling into quieter replies.
The opening alternates full, warm sonorities with descending lines passed between the registers. A lively Allegro giocoso then changes the atmosphere: short dotted figures and quick rising accompaniments create a more animated conversation. The phrases broaden over repeated broken harmonies, relax, and briefly regain their earlier motion. A slowing transition brings back the opening Andantino, whose soft chords and answering lines settle into a very quiet, held ending.
The outer sections use 9/8, while the lively middle moves in 2/4. This shift changes both the pace and the grouping of the musical pulse.
