In the most ambitious project of its type ever attempted, a computer has been set to work to complete Beethoven's unfinished 10th symphony.
It is known that Beethoven was working on a 10th symphony in his final years from his letters and the accounts of his contemporaries.Gerhard von Breuning, a friend of the composer, wrote about Beethoven telling his father how the work would have a "new gravitational force" that would go beyond even his celebrated 9th symphony, one of the most revolutionary works of its time.But Beethoven left behind only a few fragmentary musical sketches of what he planned.
"The project's goal should be to integrate Beethoven's existing musical fragments into a coherent musical flow. That's difficult enough, and if this project can manage that, it will be an incredible accomplishment."
