Chess and Music

The ChessBase development team doesn't spend ALL their time working up chess programs to defeat world champions. As noted at the ChessBase site:

"ChessBase has developed a full-fledged music composing program, appropriately named Ludwig. Matthias Wüllenweber appropriately introduced to the general public in the National Art Gallery during the Man vs Machine event – appropriately because the great German composer Ludwig (aha!) Beethoven was born and lived in Bonn."
