It did not sound remotely like a convincing reconstruction of what Beethoven intended.”, Ancient Human Footprints Could Rewrite History, Here It Is: The Ugliest Plane That Ever Lived. “Take a particular Beethoven work, one for which extensive drafts still exist, like the Eroica Symphony,” project contributor Christine Siegert, who heads up the Beethoven Archive in Bonn, told German broadcaster Deutshe Welle. The Unfinished Symphony revisited or: How creative can artificial intelligence be? The AI is then left to improvise the rest.

According to British composer and musicologist Barry Cooper, who wrote his own first movement for Beethoven’s 10th in 1988, the team still has a lot of ground to cover before April.

To train the AI, the team is feeding it a diet consisting of finished Beethoven works, earlier versions of those compositions, and the works of composers who influenced Beethoven. The technologies which help us navigate our way through cities, that tell us which bus or train to take, and even advise us about online shopping choices – are they able to do even more?
