The Last Movement
A composer dies with a symphony unfinished. A computer studies every piece she wrote and completes the final movement. Her closest friends say it sounds like her best work.
Who wrote the symphony?
Then ask
- Would your answer change if she had trained the computer?
- Could the final movement belong to no one?
- Should it be performed under her name?
The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
