> My personal wish for gauging this work (once it's complete) would be more quantitative: a "classical music earworm neural net" plus a "composer uniqueness rating".

This sounds a little like marking your own homework...

There are plenty of people that recognize the Seventh Symphony, but it's not what people are chanting at soccer matches or their first thought when this composer is mentioned. Still, you could realize after enough listening that they come from the same dude.

I think my idea is closer to providing two good adversaries if this piece were rated by an adversarial network. If the generated Tenth can't even clear these bars, then I would be more accepting of someone's negative or hostile opinion... and only if that opinion was formed after knowing the composition was made by machine.
