Note. Energy measures the intensity and the powerful activity released throughout the piece. Dance ability describes whether a piece is suitable for dancing, and it combines musical elements such as tempo, rhythm stability, beat strength, and overall regularity. Valence takes into account acoustic information such as pitch, timbre, and mode. Energy, dance ability, and valence values range between 0 and 1. A value close to one indicates high energy or arousal, high dance ability, and positive valence, while a value close to zero corresponds to low energy or arousal, low dance ability, and negative valence.
