It's really hard to connect "Let it Go" with the results that the program generates. Maybe if the song starts with a recognisable line of tones and the algorithm buts in some recognisable parts here and there it becomes more clear? Not sure. But for my untrained ears it was not possible to recognise the connection to "Let it Go".

My six-year-old identified it as reminding him of "Let It Go" with no prompting from me other than "What does this make you think of?" (He also said "It's great!" about four times before that.)

not sure how many songs kids these days are exposed to, but maybe it's easier for young children to be reminded of "let it go" since it's very popular and they haven't heard a lot of other songs?

Having a 3 year old who cannot get enough of "Snowman!" and as a result listening to this song more times than Long.MAX_VALUE, this is a good continuation of the version which appears in the movie.

For me it actually noodled around for a while, played a haunting MINOR KEY version of the entire chorus, then went back to noodling.

After reading some of the comments here I can hear vestiges of the song a bit more now. The rhythms are pretty similar to the rhythms in the song. And it does run through the chorus changes (starting in m11) in the relative minor key which is interesting.
I would like to see this done with just a melody line, or a melody and a bass line, or melody and chord changes- as doing it based on a full piano score is probably quite a bit trickier for a neural network to handle intelligibly.

It's a bit tough because MIDI-style playback engines all sound pretty rubbish, but it definitely sounds like something that could appear in an extended jazz version.

Well, the rhythm can be kinda traced back, but the training piece likely had the accompaniment and melody parts smushed together, so it is quite difficult

The one I just generated seems to be randomly banging out minor chords.

Are you folks sure anything is being generated on the fly here? I get a pre-generated version that is exactly the same every time I load the page.
I'd like to see some sort of explanation of how the neural network knew how to produce unique chord progressions pleasing to human ears, even adapting the lead to fit these new chords, for a song that contains none of those chord progressions. What is the other unrelated music it used as learning material for this?
I'd ask OP to fill us in, since it's his site; but it seems he perhaps prefers not to waste his time translating back and forth to English, considering his historical lack of comments on HN. Oh well.
