My take on the classical parts of it, as a classical pianist. Overall: stylistic coherency on the scale of ~15 seconds. Better than anything I've heard so far.

My take on the classical parts of it, as a classical pianist.
Overall: stylistic coherency on the scale of ~15 seconds. Better than anything I've heard so far. Seems to have an attachment to pedal notes.
Mozart: I would say Mozart's distinguishing characteristic as a composer is that every measure "sounds right". Even without knowing the piece, you can usually tell when a performer has made a mistake and deviated from the score. The mozart samples sound... wrong. There are parallel 5ths everywhere.
Bach: (I heard a bach sample in the live concert) - It had roughly the right consistency in the melody, but zero counterpoint, which is Bach's defining feature. Conditioning maybe not strong enough?
Rachmaninoff: Known for lush musical textures and hauntingly beautiful melodies. The samples got the texture approximately right, although I would describe them more as murky more than lush. No melody to be heard.
- varelse 7y agoFunny, as someone with the useless superpower of knowing an enormous number of TV Show themes, I could hear all sorts of riffs on such themes ranging from Magnum PI to Sesame Street. Overall, IMO it wildly gyrates from the best I have ever heard all the way to the return of Microsoft's thematically lifeless Songsmith without warning... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Songsmith https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Songsmith
- ctchocula 7y agoThis is very interesting to me as an amateur pianist trying to learn Bach. Could you give an explanation of what good and bad contrapuntal playing sound like or direct me to some references?
