The ignorance and insanity of people.

Greed, hate and ignorance are the causes of all human suffering.

Best Wishes,
Monk

Everyday stuff mainly -- not doing my job right, having a fire and losing all my possessions, having a close friend of family member injured or killed.

Music -- not being a good musican, or being stuck at a certain point of musical development for the rest of my life.

Life -- that I'm wasting mine or that it won't amount to anything in the long run.

Society/world in general -- Having people focusing only on themselves so much that those that make decisions are forced into doing things that end up extremely bad for everyone, having one of those nutzo countries fire off a nuke and start a major world situation, or just a general uneasiness that any one of those things you listed might happen or is happening.

Losing my internet connection, losing access to the web and the pf site :)

1.  Ignorance, Indifference, and Intolerance in the world
2.  That I'm not accomplishing enough with my life
3.  Environmental destruction
4.  My wretched eyesight
5.  Death

I'm more worried about the manner of dying.  After that moment, it probably wouldn't be as bad.

Another worry, not entirely joking...

That one day, I will be one of the fossil pf members, the ones that just disappear and no one ever knows why.  All that will be left are my posts.

Toward the Flame: Boris Petrushansky’s Journey Through Scriabin’s Universe

Alexander Scriabin died in April 1915, at forty-three, of a fever that took him within a week — leaving his great mystical project unfinished. He left behind a piano language no one had spoken before, one that a century later still questions every interpreter who approaches it. Boris Petrushansky has spent a lifetime preparing his answer. In a new album and an extended conversation with Piano Street, he traces Scriabin’s path from the early Preludes to the final, shattering Op. 74. Read more
