Abstract
An apparatus automatically generates an additional musical part which varies as a function of a given principal part of a music piece. In an embodiment, the apparatus adds a melodic part with a varying pitch line of an arpeggio each element of which is a selected chord tone having a pitch associated with a time-shifted pitch of the principal part. As a result, a "canon" or "Fugue" polyphonic music is obtained.
