119 recordings on this site sit at 124 beats per minute once each one's analyses are reduced to their median. A score would call that Allegro, by the ranges printed on the data page.

One beat lasts 483.9 milliseconds. That makes an eighth note 241.9 ms, a dotted eighth 362.9 ms and a sixteenth 121 ms — the delay times that will sit in time with anything at this tempo.

Half time is 62 BPM and double time is 248; a tempo detector that disagrees with this page by a factor of two is usually counting one of those instead.

16 of them are in D major, more than any other key at this tempo.
