I Don’t Want to Spoil the Party

150 independent analyses of this recording were submitted to AcousticBrainz. Most of them — 89% — put it in G major, a key signature of 1 sharp. The tempo printed above is the median of the 150 readings; 95% of them land within 2% of it, and they barely differ at all.

At 95.6 BPM one beat lasts 627.6 milliseconds, so a sixteenth note is 156.9 ms and a dotted eighth 470.7 ms — the delay times for this recording. Counted half as fast it is 47.8 BPM, counted twice as fast 191.2. A score would mark that Andante, by the ranges this site uses.

The analyses put the reference pitch of the recording at 442.5 Hz, which is 10 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 3.31 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 0.942 on Essentia's 0-to-1 scale, which is not decibels and is not comparable to a streaming service's number.
