I think that number two is Bach, but to be honest I really couldn't bank on it. The fact is that those chorales don't seem to have enough character on paper.
Incidentally, I am of the opinion that computers will be able to write music just as well as humans in the not-so-distant future, and may even be able be innovative in the field when programmed well enough. I think it pompous for humans to assume that they possess something that a machine can never have, considering that we ourselves are no more than machines with inflated senses of self-importance.
I think it would be interesting to see whether or not Mr. Cope's machine is capable of writing fugues.
