The authors present a functional taxonomy and selective survey of automatic music generation systems, organizing them by musical purpose rather than algorithm. Its seven categories are melody, harmony, rhythm, timbre, interaction, narrative, and difficulty, with a concept map showing their relationships. The framework clarifies distinct tasks but is not exhaustive; the authors identify long-term musical structure as an unresolved challenge.
