On March 20th, 2019, Google released an introduction video for the Bach Google Doodle (shown below). The doodle allows players to compose two measures of music and then creates a harmony in the style of Bach using machine learning. The program was made available from the 21st to the 22nd of March.

Development

Many people began proudly showing off their compositions on Twitter. On March 21, Twitter user @jaheeres uploaded their composition (shown below). It was then posted to ClassicFM's^[3] website as a favorite.
