For every predetermined performance section (composed of, for example, two measures) of the music piece, a particular accompaniment pattern is randomly selected from among the prestored accompaniment patterns suitable for the music piece. Accompaniment performance information for the music piece is provided by combining the accompaniment patterns randomly selected for the individual performance sections.
