My first thought: Arrange Gregor Richards' Opus 11 for two guitars and play it to me. Play Bach's 'Little' Fugue in G minor in the style of Trans-Siberian Orchestra's 'Wizards in Winter'. Okay, you pass.

Doing these things in real time would be extremely difficult for a human. Unfortunately, it might be extremely difficult for this AI as well.

It's very likely that the AI wouldn't know much about music yet. It might be able to learn very quickly, but you probably can't wait long enough to find out. That rules out testing abilities that aren't necessary for a computer program to be able to make a telephone call and converse with you in English.

Depends on how fast it runs. One guy in the TAM Matrix could pull it off between screen refreshes. I could, given ten years, or even possibly just one, and I only ever learnt the piano.
