This gets into the one realm of music which requires that human element:
interpretation.  Crescendos, decrescendos, cadenzas, ritardandos, and the
like are what define the human touch.  I've heard systems that use ran-
dom number generators to determine rates of change, but it became rather
disjointed.  You may have to write some AI code to supply that, my friend.
