用法筆記

In classical and choral music, the accompanist is almost always a pianist. In popular, jazz, or religious music, the accompanist may play guitar, organ, or another harmonic instrument. The word is rarely used for drummers or bass players in a band; those musicians are more commonly called rhythm-section players or sidemen.
