What’s the ‘likelihood’ of a computer completing an unfinished piece of Bach?

Certainly computers analysing pop buying public, are said to be able to reliably predict, the success of commercial hits prior to release. Moving on, they can doubtless throw-out options, to short-cut the process – but able to make a three minute computer song? Perhaps human fed but from silence?

As far Johann Sebastian goes, my understanding is no one has yet worked how he could do some of the complexities and patterns – ‘without’ a computer? Look forward to the attempt to finish the fugue, with little hope and bold, no-expectation. Bach and like exclusively-Classical fanatics, most often find anything later than the 1940's not of the same stratosphere. As for potentially anything programmable?

Perhaps the apparent simplicity of this fugue raised their confidence? Feeding their predicted completion, is over a thousand pieces of his music – out of who knows how many, were lost.

Seems simple, all the while mystifying, in depths and magnitude.

Science Daily: The composer Johann Sebastian Bach left behind an incomplete fugue upon his death, either as an unfinished work or perhaps as a puzzle for future composers to solve.

A classical music dataset released by University of Washington researchers -- which enables machine learning algorithms to learn the features of classical music from scratch -- raises the likelihood that a computer could expertly finish the job. MORE
