If you are curious what a commercial service such as Suno will create from the prompt “music in the style of Bach's Aria from the Goldberg Variations”.
Here is an example, where no learning anything is necessary, just copy the above prompt in the create box and check the instrumental option:

Suno created two tracks the one above was the shorter version, the second was 8 minutes long. Partially because of lawsuits they had a half price special a couple months ago, $48 for a year for their "pro plan.

I experiment with all sorts of versions of AI models and services for fun. I run many types of AI models locally, and also in rented servers that would cost too much for me to purchase. But many of the commercial services such as Suno would be pretty hard to duplicate.

I don't use co-pilot much. It seems amazing that a service that so much money was invested in... (not to mention the advertising hype) seems as limited as it is, and frustrating as well.

Nothing personal but THAT IS NOT BACH. There's no counterpoint. It's not even Baroque. That's some sort of 19th century romantic-style composition. Suno got it wrong.

I've heard works from Suno and I know what it can do. My test was for Copilot; to see if it could write a piece of music in a very specific style. It worked but it involved using music writing programs and not just prompts. The results from Copilot were close to what I wanted.

The point of my story is that Copilot is a useful tool and I was surprised how it appeared (programmed) to sincerely care about helping me succeed. Even during frustrating tasks it asked me to do, it was remarkably encouraging, cheering me on, "you can do it!"

For the record, this is what I was striving for.

GOLDBERG VARIATIONS. ARIA. JSBACH. Ignacio Prego
