  Bach" -- I asked myself the question "Will a computer program ever
  write beautiful music?", and then proceeded to speculate as follows:
  "There will be no new kinds of beauty turned up for a long time by
  computer music-composing programs... To think -- and I have heard this
  suggested -- that we might soon be able to command a preprogrammed
  mass-produced mail-order twenty-dollar desk-model 'music box' to bring forth
  from its sterile circuitry pieces which Chopin or Bach might have written had
  they lived longer is a grotesque and shameful <span class="SpellE">misestimation</span>
  of the depth of the human spirit."
