Vincent Persichetti's 'Poems for Piano Vol. 2, Op. 5: No. 2, To whose more clear than crystal voice' is a solo piano piece that was composed in 1940. The piece was premiered in the same year by the composer himself. The piece is divided into three movements, with the second movement being the titular 'To whose more clear than crystal voice'. The movement is marked 'Moderato' and is in the key of E-flat major. The movement is characterized by its lyrical and expressive melody, which is played in the right hand. The left hand provides a simple accompaniment, consisting of broken chords and occasional octaves. The movement is structured in a ternary form, with the A section featuring the aforementioned melody in the right hand and the broken chord accompaniment in the left hand. The B section features a more rhythmic and staccato melody in the right hand, with the left hand providing a more active accompaniment. The A section is then repeated, with some slight variations in the melody and accompaniment. Overall, 'To whose more clear than crystal voice' is a beautiful and expressive piece that showcases Persichetti's skill in crafting memorable melodies and creating effective harmonies. The movement is a testament to the composer's ability to create emotionally resonant music that is both accessible and sophisticated.
