The Theme

156 independent analyses of this recording were submitted to AcousticBrainz. Fewer than half of them — 22% — put it in B flat major, a key signature of 2 flats. The tempo printed above is the median of the 156 readings; 19% of them land within 2% of it, and the middle eight tenths of them run from 99.2 to 172.3 BPM. That is a recording the detector cannot settle on — the readings are spread far enough that the median is a summary of a disagreement rather than a measurement anybody should trust to the decimal.

At 135.9 BPM one beat lasts 441.5 milliseconds, so a sixteenth note is 110.4 ms and a dotted eighth 331.1 ms — the delay times for this recording. Counted half as fast it is 68 BPM, counted twice as fast 271.8. A score would mark that Allegro, by the ranges this site uses.

The analyses put the reference pitch of the recording at 441 Hz, which is 4 cents above 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 6.41 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 0.216 on Essentia's 0-to-1 scale, which is not decibels and is not comparable to a streaming service's number.
