Out of Time

132 independent analyses of this recording were submitted to AcousticBrainz. A bare majority of them — 51% — put it in G major, a key signature of 1 sharp. The tempo printed above is the median of the 132 readings; 100% of them land within 2% of it, and the middle eight tenths of them run from 126.8 to 127.9 BPM.

At 127.7 BPM one beat lasts 469.9 milliseconds, so a sixteenth note is 117.5 ms and a dotted eighth 352.4 ms — the delay times for this recording. Counted half as fast it is 63.9 BPM, counted twice as fast 255.4. A score would mark that Allegro, by the ranges this site uses.

The analyses put the reference pitch of the recording at 434.2 Hz, which is 23 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 3.91 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 0.868 on Essentia's 0-to-1 scale, which is not decibels and is not comparable to a streaming service's number.
