Certainly, there is nothing personal about this. And obviously it is not Bach. I used a prompt that was extremely simple to demonstrate how easy it is to generate pleasant sounding music with the simplest interface Suno provides. You indicated that you were a newbie at this, so I gave you newbie type instructions. If you want to get better quality results.. you have to use a better-quality prompt and then tweak your results after you hear them, using both positive and negative prompts. I am paying $5 a month for the privilege of using this program. My expectations are not that high.
When Suno is given was given this prompt, “Solo Harpsichord, Baroque, J.S. Bach style, Goldberg Variations, Aria, contrapuntal, elegant, ornate, sophisticated, 18th-century keyboard music, intricate ornamentation, trills, G Major, 3/4 time, reflective, serene, high-quality recording” This is what it generated with that prompt.

Now I could have downloaded this in a higher quality format, but I had no expectation that it would turn out to be an exceptional rendition on the first try.
This is closer to the video from a professional musician, but even with additional work it would not satisfy someone who is a true classic music lover such as yourself. I am confused about what it is you expect to get back from even a more sophisticated prompt on the first try. It is not going to be what a professional musician can output using music from the actual composer.
I started out many years ago using Band-in-a-Box which is a tool that professional musicians have been using for a couple of decades now. It seemed like a miracle when I first started playing with it, but now it seems rudimentary compared to the more recent AI tools.
Can you share what you actually produced using co-pilot and “music writing programs”?
I don't believe you understand what I was talking about or trying to do.
I know what Suno is. I know how it works. I know what Suno does.
My purpose in using Copilot was to test how creative it could be. I didn't want to simply ask Copilot questions. That's pointless. That's what AI is used for. I wanted to push the boundaries of what it was capable of generating so I picked something specific.
The test was to see if Copilot, not Suno, could create original music but within strict parameters. Hence I ask for something very specific; Music in the style of Bach's Aria from the Goldberg Variations.
My intent was not to create a new work by 'Bach'. My intent was to test the creative powers of Copilot.
Also, I was surprised how it was programmed to be helpful and encouraging. It acted like a friendly teacher guiding a student to learn on his own. At one point I wrote, "I can't do this" and the program responded with "Yes you can. I will help you." The program really wanted me to succeed and wouldn't let me quit. It's like it's programmed to be your best friend.
As for the example you shared in this response. It's very much in the style of Bach and Baroque music. In this case, Suno did a great job but I don't want new music by 'Bach' from either Copilot or Suno. I was simply testing Copilot.
