She’s Always a Woman

420 independent analyses of this recording were submitted to AcousticBrainz. Most of them — 92% — put it in E flat major, a key signature of 3 flats. The tempo printed above is the median of the 420 readings; 83% of them land within 2% of it, and the middle eight tenths of them run from 117 to 163.5 BPM.

At 117.2 BPM one beat lasts 511.9 milliseconds, so a sixteenth note is 128 ms and a dotted eighth 384 ms — the delay times for this recording. Counted half as fast it is 58.6 BPM, counted twice as fast 234.4. A score would mark that Moderato, by the ranges this site uses.

The analyses put the reference pitch of the recording at 441 Hz, which is 4 cents above concert A at 440 Hz — close enough to standard that a tuner would not argue. That is a fact about this transfer of the music, not about how it was played.

The dynamic complexity of the recording measures 5.26 dB: that is how far the level wanders from its own average, so a small number means a loud, flat master and a large one means a recording that still breathes. Its average loudness is 0.718 on Essentia's 0-to-1 scale, which is not decibels and is not comparable to a streaming service's number.
