Answer to Question 1

 Kosalia Arini clearly exemplifies all three characteristics of Balinese gamelan music: strictly instrumental, abrupt changes in tempi and dynamics (loudness levels), and dazzling technical display by the players.

Answer to Question 2

 Beats or pulsations are the result of intentionally tuning two sound sourcessuch as two Balinese gamelan instruments or two tones on a Western pianoso that the pitch of one of the sources will be just slightly higher (or lower) than the same pitch on the other sound source. Playing the two slightly out of tune sources together produces these special beats or pulsations (very fast vibrations).
 In the case of Balinese instruments, the resulting beats give a desirable shimmering quality to the gamelan ensemble. In the case of the Western piano, the special sound of these beats is used to guide the piano tuner as he/she tempers the tuning.
