AI will soon be writing new Bach and Mozart pieces like they’re sausages... A new one every week.

1. Would be more realistic if performed on a harpsicord, rather than pipe organ.

2. I can see why Bach lost this piece.

And they'll all be shite ... like every other piece of AI "music" to which I have been subjected ...

Thanks for posting. I imagine they fare better in another player than Ton Koopman, but that's a matter of taste. Watching the manuscript images go by was darn fun. The organ at Thomaskirche Leipzig is not the instrument on which Bach played. Time's ravages.

Attended a live event last night, mostly Bach, Christmas Cantatas, so-called Coffee Cantatas, other pieces, and can attest: Three hundred years has not dimmed his brilliance.

Exactly... You pump a bunch of Beatles tunes into a computer... Then you just tell the AI you want a new tune, with new words that sounds like the tunes you just fed it... It then gives you a new Beatles tune.

Or AI can generate an original song, that can serve as a demo, get real musicians to record it, and pass it off as if you composed it yourself.

The man
Second place is a ways back and it’s more debatable

Smoke on the water intro is Bach inverted per the always amicable Ritchie Blackmore

Page nods Bach often too

“this thread is worthless without the music (link given)”

There’s a problem with that presentation: the black keys are white and the white keys are black.
