"ok, so it isn't following the classical sonata form -- that answers my question, thanks.

"Hi David, Thanks.
Well, it certainly can be called a Fantasia, but this piece had three parts and a logical connection between the movements, so I decided to call it a Sonata, a rather very free form of a Sonata I might add. "

"I found this to be one of the most interesting and adventurous of your recent piano works but it struck me as being more in the form of a fantasia. You've called it a sonata so my question is, am I simply missing the sonata form here?"
"Music libraries, and media using them, goes back some time. It's not a modern facet of the industry at all, and the difference is still that a human created those pieces. You can play devil's advocate along the lines of "modern composers regurgitate…"
"Yes, that's what I'm trying to get at. Like it or not (and personally I don't like it, but it's the harsh reality) the AI hype is going in the direction of replacing low-effort music productions. How far it is along that line of development I…"
""If a client is satisfied with the kind of mindless regurgitation of training data that current AI produces, I'm glad they aren't my clients."

"The point is not about right or wrong answers to math problems. That was only an illustration to show that current generative AI is incapable of reasoning. It's pretty good at aping the process of reasoning, but if you look at it deep enough,…"

"It being low effort to you isn't really the point. The most banal filler score to a third-tier TV series has still been composed by someone, possibly even orchestrated and recorded rather than just using samples. Sure, I could shit out that stuff…"
"Clients can like and approve whatever shitty music they please. That's right. If the music has been trained on that of other unwitting or unwilling composers, and especially if it's not a composer getting the job but some prompt enthusiast, I'd say…"
"To make a long answer kind of short, though;
You're comparing mathematics to art. There is really no "right or wrong" answers when it comes to music that will satisfy a client. If they like the result, then it's a "right answer" versus something…"

"In the meantime, it seems that it's gradually coming up to the point where it could replace a lot of cookie-cutter work: the kind of musical filler that like bad romance novels simply recycle the same worn out plots, changing really only the names…"
"Right- I don't think anyone is claiming the software has the ability to think for itself and produce anything that is authentically original. See the last paragraph of my thoughts. As mentioned, that will be the tipping point, if and when that day…"
"Thanks, David. Definitely appreciate the feedback. The passage that starts at 4:15 does have a climax at 4:23 which does fizzle out, because I didn't want a sustained one after the introduction. I wanted to save that for later.
I thought I had some…"

I composed this piece for a competion on this site a few years back.Words taken from poems of John Updike.In Winter.mp3Didn't have a very good sound file then, a little better now especially with the voice.
"I keep it simple. I write what I can play and ensure it's within reach for the average musician too. Once the composition is done, I create the score. Nowadays, since players often need to hear the music first, I also provide a sound file. That's…"
