As someone involved in education, AI has been a hot topic. I have a pragmatic view that AI, for good or bad, is ubiquitous in our society so it is better to control how it is expressed in the forums where you can set explicit guidelines and consequences for abuse rather than ban it entirely and have it go underground. I would advocate creating a dedicated subforum for AI music and be clear that AI music must be declared as such can only be submitted/discussed there and a clear policy that violating these guidelines can lead to suspension or banning from the site. Also in the end, if someone wants to pass of AI music (or any other creative endeavor as their own), it's really hurting them more so than others. They are not improving their creative process so any praise/feedback is hollow and meaningless. At least it's not stealing someone else's work and passing it off as your own (which has happened to me). I am of the mind that AI generated art in all forms will always be inferior to human efforts so in the end who really cares?. If AI every got to the point there were really think it is on par or superior to human effort, well, then great since a masterpiece is a masterpiece (I am just doubtful that AI will ever be able to achieve this).

Quite an impressive work. Honestly compares quite favorably to my ears at least to the classical trumpet concertos which I tend to find forgettable. Bravo!

Very nice. I'm a big admirer of Scarlatti myself, definitely hear the inspiration here.

Beautiful. The spirit of Schubert certainly flows through you but still distinct, not just a mere pastiche. Well done!

Really nice! I would just suggest more dynamic markings but otherwise if someone told me this was a lost piece by Mozart found in some dusty music library in Vienna, I'd believe them.

I thought this was quite nice. Certainly would be a good opening movement for a sonata.

Thanks for listening, I do like how I started it, hopefully I can get some inspiration to make more progress with it.

Hi all, As the title says, this is some stuff I've dug up (some it quite old) that I started, made some decent progress but haven't finished. Hopefully I'll find time to get back to them so any thoughts are welcome. Farewell Overture - This is the oldest of the bunch, started when I was still in college, an early attempt at a symphonic work First movement for a String Quartet in D minor - my second attempt for a work for string ensemble, inspired by Schubert's Death and the Maiden Quartet Requiem - VI. Recordare - This is an unfinished version of the Recordare movement for my requiem, somewhat inspired by Pergolesi's Stabat Mater so it is involves duet with a soprano and mezzo-soprano Polka in F major - A silly throwaway piano piece A likely 3rd movement for a Violin Concerto in A minor - this is the most recent, but I hit a wall and left it for a few months but likely will prioritize to finish this.

The first movement is charming. I will certainly listen to the rest when I have time. I wouldn't second guess any of your musical decisions simply based on what another composer did. While clearly you were inspired by classical form, it sounds fresh to me, so if it sounds right to you, you should be happy with it.

I appreciate the comments! I agree, the second movement is the weakest. I always have trouble with slow movements and kind of approached it in the end of just completing one so I could call this a finished sonata. I am proudest of the third movement which I think best captured my intent to immerse myself in Beethoven's style.

I liked what i heard but it cuts off (at least for me) only after about a minute. If you upload an updated version, I'd love to hear it.

Much appreciated! I myself cannot play the piano at all so your comments about its playablity are particularly helpful.

I came up with this after messing around over the past couple weeks. It has some pretty sudden shifts in textures and harmony, just looking for opinions if there are areas that sound really off.

Cool little etude. Kind of reminds me of Shostokovich.

Thanks for listening and taking the time to comment. I did struggle on the second movement (slow tempo movements/pieces come less naturally to me) but it at least was started around the time the other movements were completed which helped to at least maintain some continuity.
