I thought I was going to play an "easy" program, but Vladimir was worried that it wasn't long enough, so we decided to add a whole bunch of extra pieces that we hadn't even rehearsed...crazy musicians...

Pianists have the advantage of being able to play the melody and harmony at the same time. But how do you make one voice sound louder and clearer when one hand is playing multiple parts? Pianist Hugh Sung demonstrates a simple exercise to help you make one voice sound louder than other voices or harmonies in a single hand. Most of the time the melody will be in the top voice, but we’ll also explore voicings that occur in the middle of multiple parts.

Getting an emergency passport in New York City. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/requirements/where-to-apply/passport-agencies/new-york.html
The Manhattan passport agency is located at 376 Hudson St, New York, NY 10014
They open at 7:30 am, but I advise getting there by 6 am or earlier - the lines will be long!
*Note* - the agency was great! I was able to get a brand new passport in 3 hours, but keep in mind that you have to show evidence that you have a flight booked. I also advise getting passport pictures taken ahead of time - there is a small shop down the street that will take pictures, but I think they open around 7:30am.
