I agree with you. A spectrum plot is not the proper way to do this as it is averaging all kinds of noise. Best way is to analyze a few open string notes, and this can be done by looking at the waveform over all the cycles that the note is held and estimating the number of samples for a number of zero crossings. If you do this multiple times (different A open string notes) and they are consistent you will know what you are dealing with.
It is also possible to listen and compare pitches, but for me I can tell the difference between 440 and 442, but not between 440 and 441. YMMV.
An even better way, to see if the timing is correct is to compare note for note the entire cadenza to make sure that there aren't any edits. Once this is done then take the attack of the first and last notes on both versions and compare the timing.
