Is anyone else on this site ever bothered when music is frustrating, and you'd like to relax by listening to some good music, but you can't because it would remind you of your problems?

I have a tentative quartet and have checked some music out of the library to sight-read tonight. They're leaning towards Debussy or Prokofiev at the moment. We're not sure we'll be able to play together, as our group consists of three violinists and a cellist, but we can all switch off on viola. However, the faculty might have to put a real violist in the group if there's a viola major who signed up for chamber music in need of a quartet. So, I'm not expecting anything at this point, but I'll just see how it goes.
