Dressed in Black

176 independent analyses of this recording were submitted to AcousticBrainz. A bare majority of them — 68% — put it in G major, a key signature of 1 sharp. The tempo printed above is the median of the 176 readings; 78% of them land within 2% of it, and the middle eight tenths of them run from 89 to 93.8 BPM.

At 93.7 BPM one beat lasts 640.3 milliseconds, so a sixteenth note is 160.1 ms and a dotted eighth 480.3 ms — the delay times for this recording. Counted half as fast it is 46.9 BPM, counted twice as fast 187.4. A score would mark that Andante, by the ranges this site uses.

The analyses put the reference pitch of the recording at 439.7 Hz, which is 1 cents below concert A at 440 Hz — close enough to standard that a tuner would not argue. That is a fact about this transfer of the music, not about how it was played.

The dynamic complexity of the recording measures 4.16 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 0.859 on Essentia's 0-to-1 scale, which is not decibels and is not comparable to a streaming service's number.
