Love of My Life

289 independent analyses of this recording were submitted to AcousticBrainz. A bare majority of them — 75% — put it in F major, a key signature of 1 flat. The tempo printed above is the median of the 289 readings; 53% of them land within 2% of it, and the middle eight tenths of them run from 148.2 to 163.6 BPM.

At 151.4 BPM one beat lasts 396.3 milliseconds, so a sixteenth note is 99.1 ms and a dotted eighth 297.2 ms — the delay times for this recording. Counted half as fast it is 75.7 BPM, counted twice as fast 302.8. A score would mark that Allegro, by the ranges this site uses.

The analyses put the reference pitch of the recording at 435.7 Hz, which is 17 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 6.12 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 0.33 on Essentia's 0-to-1 scale, which is not decibels and is not comparable to a streaming service's number.
