<p>In a musical analysis apparatus, a spectrum acquirer acquires a spectrum for each frame of an audio signal representing a piece of music. A beat specifier specifies a sequence of beats of the audio signal. A feature amount extractor divides an interval between the beats into a plurality of analysis periods such that one analysis period contains a plurality of frames, and separates the spectrum of the frames contained in one analysis period into a plurality of analysis bands so as to set a plurality of analysis units in one analysis period in correspondence with the plurality of the analysis bands, such that one analysis unit contains components of the spectrum belonging to the corresponding analysis band. The feature amount extractor further calculates a feature value of each analysis unit based on the components of the spectrum contained in each analysis unit, thereby generating a rhythmic feature amount that is an array of the feature values calculated for the analysis units and that features a rhythm of the piece of music.</p> |
