Yeah, that's what I found eerie about it! It's close but not quite Chopin.

Maybe the Bach and Joplin pieces didn't bother me so much because baroque counterpoints and piano rags are already kind of formulaic.

I'd love to hear (or maybe be creeped out by) their program trying some jazz greats. That's a style I'm much more familiar with.

I obviously can't promise this isn't my own bias, but the Joplin-eque piece just doesn't flow the same as any of the actual Joplin rags I'm familiar with. Same with the Bach. There's something compelling in the originals that seems to be missing from the ersatz version.
