The Wanderer (take 1)

155 independent analyses of this recording were submitted to AcousticBrainz. A bare majority of them — 59% — put it in D major, a key signature of 2 sharps. The tempo printed above is the median of the 155 readings; 99% of them land within 2% of it, and the middle eight tenths of them run from 114.2 to 115.8 BPM.

At 115.2 BPM one beat lasts 520.8 milliseconds, so a sixteenth note is 130.2 ms and a dotted eighth 390.6 ms — the delay times for this recording. Counted half as fast it is 57.6 BPM, counted twice as fast 230.4. A score would mark that Moderato, by the ranges this site uses.

The analyses put the reference pitch of the recording at 438 Hz, which is 8 cents below concert A at 440 Hz — the sort of drift a tape machine or a slightly different mastering leaves behind. That is a fact about this transfer of the music, not about how it was played.

The dynamic complexity of the recording measures 2.49 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 0.937 on Essentia's 0-to-1 scale, which is not decibels and is not comparable to a streaming service's number.
