I follow a YouTube channel Gamma1734 [1] where the creator who runs it plays a bunch of piano sheet music from the past, a lot of it in the Romantic style. The artists played on the channel are all obscure to me. None of the names I consider "masters" from that period or style. And to be frank, the average quality of the compositions is not great. My own opinion, as an amateur musician with no classical training, is the music I heard on this AI generated page would not have stood out to me compared to the rest of the pieces on that channel. I would wager that in a randomized test of these average middle of the road composers vs. an AI score generated by NoteGen that almost no average person would be able to distinguish them. That leaves two categories. The highly trained individuals (e.g. professional composers or well educated amateurs) who may be able to tell a difference (I would love a real study on this and not just "vibes"). And the master composers (Beethoven, Chopin, Brahms, Liszt, etc.) which stand above the average human composers of their own times. I would admit the pieces composed by the AI aren't at the level of the master, but they do feel indistinguishable to me from the average. https://www.youtube.com/@PianoScoreVids https://www.youtube.com/@PianoScoreVids
