Starting with a few notes that Beethoven wrote in a notebook before his death in 1827, the researchers planned to use computer software in conjunction with artificial intelligence to complete the rest. of Symphony No. 10.

Artificial intelligence is expected to complete the unfinished Symphony No. 10 of Ludwig van Beethoven.

However, Barry Cooper, a British composer and musician, who wrote a potential follow-up to the 1988 Symphony No. 10, is unsure whether the remix was created by artificial intelligence. successful or not.
