British Name[edit]

Does one know how common those british names are today? Has something of a tongue-twister… --.rhavin (talk) 05:20, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Which is probably why Charles Schulz threw it in to this "Peanuts" strip: http://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1980/03/04 A²Kafir (and...?) 02:44, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

They're used so rarely that it doesn't really matter that the name is difficult to pronounce. 88.104.247.101 (talk) 16:07, 1 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Usage[edit]

Does anyone know of any instances where notes like these have actually been used? I've been playing the piano for 14 years (albeit sporadically), and I've never come across these, just heard of 'em. ^Triana_C 14:42, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It all depends on tempo, at 50 bpm it's 1/64 = 0.075s; quite playable… --.rhavin (talk) 05:20, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've been playing piano for five years and I see them far to often. For the most recent example I've played, look at page 14 hereof[[1]]. The next value down is in the first movement of Beethoven's 8th piano sonata, to give the first examlpe I can think of.Quendus 12:33, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Out of curiosity I asked a chorister of long experience whether choral music composers use 64th notes? Her reply: "No possible way can they use 64th notes. 32nd is the very most & even that's stretching it."

Of course, that depends on how fast the piece is. At

= 48, 32nds and 64ths would not be too much of a problem. Double sharp (talk) 02:36, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The only use I can think of is in a trill. 88.104.243.200 (talk) 16:04, 1 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Practicality[edit]

Does this really need its own page? This should just be part of List_of_musical_symbols#Instrument-specific_notation — Supuhstar * § 05:42, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
