K-means clustering of historical Beethoven sonata recordings identifies multiple stable tempo traditions per movement that persist independently over eight decades instead of showing uniform change.
A cumulative timestamp protocol yields millisecond-resolution bar-level BPM data for polyphonic chamber music and captures expressive timing missed by automated detectors, demonstrated on over 100 Beethoven sonata recordings.
The paper introduces and demonstrates a complementary set of five visualizations including tempographs, spline-smoothed histograms, ridgeline plots, stacked bar charts, and combination charts for bar-level tempo data from Beethoven piano and cello sonata recordings spanning 1930-2012.
