UNFINISHED SYMPHONY
Take some quarter and half notes,
add pitches A to G,
add chord progression,
some cadence,
drink a lot of beer.
Wear a white curly wig.
Next morning, play back what you created.

For my money, Old Ludwig’s Grosse Fugue from op. 133 IS his 10th Symphony and the culmination of all that is Beethoven. It is absolute music and stands alone like the Great Pyramid, it’s craftsmanship that can be appreciated on a purely intellectual level, and yet emotionally compelling upon realization of its grandeur (whereas the Hammerklavier is the culmination of his piano compositions and can only be enjoyed in its natural and human scale keyboard element).
It is a work for immortal ears, and those who can truly discern the angels among them from the demons. Beethoven is a gift from God. Not a mere transcriber of the divine, like Mozart, but a Jacob like man who wrestled against God’s creation only to verify it.

I guess what I’m saying is that Beethoven is really neat

Beethoven: Great Fugue, Op. 133If you play this for people who think they now classical music and ask them to guess the composer, the first guess is always Stravinsky.

Come on, it’s Beethoven. He was clearly transitioning to Metal.

Bingo. That’s why “AI” will never really be “intelligent” as far as I’m concerned. There are aspects to our intelligence that require a soul, and that’s something we cannot ever program.

He was clearly transitioning to Metal.
you are probably correct. I bow to your superior musical knowledge.

How DARE they!!! No computer on earth can begin to read the mind of a man with Beethoven’s gift. This will be a fustian epigone at best.

I have a CD of a completed first movement of a 10th symphony, done in the late 80’s. I had read a Fayetteville, NC newspaper writeup no later than 1989, and found the CD in an Austin, TX music shop sometime after 1995. I ripped an MP3 to my computer and can listen to it now.
Don’t know what this new project is about...
