Modern music-LLMs handle counterpoint, voice independence, and harmonic propriety. Not Bach himself, but credibly Bach-inspired.
AI systems have demonstrated the ability to generate musical compositions in various styles, including classical and romantic. However, composing a string quartet in the classical-romantic style that is indistinguishable from a human-composed work remains a challenging task. Current AI models can generate coherent and aesthetically pleasing music, but they often lack the nuance, depth, and emotional resonance that a human composer would bring to a work. While AI-generated music can be impressive, it typically requires significant human input and editing to achieve a level of quality comparable to that of a skilled human composer.
