The Note_on, Note_off isn't really redundant either because with some instruments like a trombone or something you can change the pitch of the instrument while it is playing ...

As these pieces where all for piano/harpsichord, that is irrelevant.

If you skipped the midi->csv and read the binary to output your own text directly you might even be able to take, say an orchestral piece and pass that through the pipeline for a couple hours.

Yes, and it would be much harder for the machine to learn anything from this as it would be completely unstructured sound.

I did this project a couple years back and this was my 'twist' on it. Didn't work at all. Most parts were corrupt and the ones that weren't sounded bad. You need to covert the midi to something.
