ABSTRACT:
Analysis section divides waveform data of a given music piece into waveform data of a plurality of fragments and divides the waveform data of each of the fragments into one or more events of sound, and obtains a character value indicative of a character of the waveform data pertaining to each of the divided events. Storage section stores respective music piece data and music piece composing data of one or more music pieces. The music piece composing data include a character value indicative of a character of the waveform data pertaining to each of the events of each of the fragments. Search section searches (or retrieves) for, from among the stored music piece composing data, one event or a plurality of successive events having a character value of a high degree of similarity to one or more events included in a designated fragment.
