Btw.. a computer program passed 'composer' Turing test a few years ago. A piece
written by a program was performed against original Bach piece. All the audience
knew was that one of the two was written by a human and the other by a computer.
Majority of spectators decided computer's composition was genuine Bach.

The program was sort of neural network fed with several hundreds of genuine Bach
to train on....

P.S. I always suspected J.S.Bach was not a human...:)
