this is basically the first steps to replicating emotions. if they can master instruments. then they could easily imitate human emotions.

this scares me. i don't care if a robot can be programmed to improvise, music is created to express the emotions of the musician, and a robot can`t do that. if we begin introducing robot musicians, we lose the emotion in music.

That would be awesome if I had one in my home...at least not a violin player but I'd like a guitar playing robot =D

I would like to see these in Malls and other public places that have background music... Live music is so much better than speakers, even if played by a mechaform.

(last post too long)
key points in the song, i.e., at those "key points" that it has heard improvisation in human performances.
There we go. If music is defined by the ability of the performer to improvise while playing music, then, in a strictly literal sense, the robot is now playing like a human.
In a nutshell:
Robot pieces together improvisation pre-performance. Robot inserts improvisation at points specified by the programmers which allow it to do so at random times during the performance.
Wait... this means that the performance would have to be in real-time for those "improvisation" pieces to be actual improvisations. Modern processors could handle that *cough* fruityloops *cough*. So, almost complete rewrite of my idea, but not totally.
tl;dr: robots will learn to improvise. and not just in violin playing.
