89 recordings on this site sit at 101 beats per minute once each one's analyses are reduced to their median. A score would call that Andante, by the ranges printed on the data page.

One beat lasts 594.1 milliseconds. That makes an eighth note 297 ms, a dotted eighth 445.5 ms and a sixteenth 148.5 ms — the delay times that will sit in time with anything at this tempo.

Half time is 50.5 BPM and double time is 202; a tempo detector that disagrees with this page by a factor of two is usually counting one of those instead.

8 of them are in D minor, more than any other key at this tempo.
