Beethoven’s symphony was completed after two centuries! / AI became a musician!


According to the Fars news agency’s music correspondent, quoting Euronews, Beethoven’s unfinished Symphony No. 10 was completed two centuries later with the help of artificial intelligence.

Using artificial intelligence, a team of international musicians and experts have completed the unfinished Symphony No. 10 Beethoven, the famous German composer, using artificial intelligence.

When Ludwig van Beethoven died in 1827, he wrote only a few notes from his Symphony No. 10 in his notebook, and letters from the last years of his life show that the composer was working on his tenth symphony. Is.

The project to complete and reconstruct Beethoven’s 10th Symphony was started in early 2019 by the Karayan Institute in Salzburg, Austria, which specializes in new technologies in the field of music.

A team of experts, from Austrian composer Walter Varzova to Professor Ahmed Al-Jamal, an artificial intelligence specialist at Rutgers University in the United States, tried to combine scattered Beethoven handwritten pieces to make as many empty parts of the symphony as possible. .

In this project, since the notes of Symphony 10 were not enough, AI used Beethoven’s previous works to re-read Beethoven’s previous works in order to learn the creative process of their production.

“Artificial intelligence got involved in telling us how Beethoven composed and developed his pieces,” says Austrian composer Walter Varzova. “This tool was able to understand the methods and changes applied and bring them back to us.”

“Because of the time difference, I woke up early in the morning and ran to my computer very excitedly to find hundreds of pages of different notes of the pieces,” he said, receiving the AI-produced pieces from the Rutgers University team in the US. “They were pseudo-produced.”

At the end of the production, the piece was played in the presence of journalists, musicians and Beethoven scholars to tell them which parts are original and which have been reconstructed. None of the attendees could tell the difference.

For re-testing, this piece was tuned for a string quartet. The result was the same, and yet none of the attendees could tell the difference between the original parts of Beethoven and the part produced by artificial intelligence.

Some critics say that AI has never been as in love as Beethoven and has not frozen his head in a bucket of water to stay awake. However, the creators of these pieces say that these issues do not change the music and the notes that have been detected by artificial intelligence.

According to Walter Varzova, emotions have certainly influenced the way Beethoven’s masterpieces are written, yet the output is ultimately the notes that are analyzed by machine language.

It took two years to complete. The piece was supposed to be ready for Beethoven’s 250th birthday, but the Corona epidemic delayed it.

On Saturday, October 9, the symphony was performed for the first time by the Beethoven Bonn Orchestra in the city.
