Come Rain or Come Shine

140 independent analyses of this recording were submitted to AcousticBrainz. Most of them — 76% — put it in B minor, a key signature of 2 sharps. The tempo printed above is the median of the 140 readings; 41% of them land within 2% of it, and the middle eight tenths of them run from 89.3 to 172.3 BPM.

At 164.9 BPM one beat lasts 363.9 milliseconds, so a sixteenth note is 91 ms and a dotted eighth 272.9 ms — the delay times for this recording. Counted half as fast it is 82.5 BPM, counted twice as fast 329.8. A score would mark that Vivace, by the ranges this site uses.

The analyses put the reference pitch of the recording at 443.3 Hz, which is 13 cents above 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 5.91 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 0.336 on Essentia's 0-to-1 scale, which is not decibels and is not comparable to a streaming service's number.
