Although coming up with something 'own' just by varying something
existing can be a lot of fun. I'm a very lazy beginner on the piano and
know only a handful of songs, I'm generally too lazy to learn new ones.
However, I got bored with those and started to vary the rhythm, speed,
loudness, lots of small things, and those simple songs can take on
moods between depressing and happy, without changing a single key. This
was quite a rewarding experience.

Well, a good score is an indication of how something should be
played, not every single little detail. It leaves such important
components up to the individual performer. I'm really disappointed by
a number of people who've learned to play by listening to others'
performances; they seem to have difficulty coming up with their own
sound, or show a strong propensity for sounding just like the
performer they "learned" from. Most commercial pop music seems to
think that's the way it's supposed to be, though. It did a fine job recognizing every note in a
commercial song with
multiple instruments and a full orchestra.
It put all the notes on the same track, making the results
completely useless.
Even if it should work, music isn't just notes and rhythm, there's
some kind of voodoo too ... impossible to script something like the
bass for this song
