The most common tuplet [9] is the triplet (German Triole, French triolet, Italian terzina or tripletta, Spanish tresillo).Whereas normally two quarter notes (crotchets) are the same duration as a half note (minim), three triplet quarter notes have that same duration, so the duration of a triplet quarter note is 2 ⁄ 3 the duration of a standard quarter note.
Tuplet A tuplet is a group of notes that would not normally fit into the rhythmic space they occupy. The example shown is a quarter-note triplet—three quarter notes are to be played in the space that would normally contain two. (To determine how many "normal" notes are being replaced by the tuplet, it is sometimes necessary to examine the ...
A quarter note or crotchet (/ ˈ k r ɒ t ʃ ɪ t /) is a musical note played for one quarter of the duration of a whole note (or semibreve). Quarter notes are notated with a filled-in oval note head and a straight, flagless stem .
Quarter tone on C. A quarter tone is a pitch halfway between the usual notes of a chromatic scale or an interval about half as wide (orally, or logarithmically) as a semitone, which itself is half a whole tone. Quarter tones divide the octave by 50 cents each, and have 24 different pitches.
A number of dots (n) lengthen the note value by 2 n − 1 / 2 n its value, so two dots add two lower note values, making a total of one and three quarters times its original duration. The rare three dots make it one and seven eighths the duration, and so on.
As was usual in Xenakis, despite the slow tempo, long thirty-second note tuplet and sixty-fourth note passages are frequent, with sharp dynamic changes and isolated quarter notes and half notes. Also as customary in Xenakis, it is in standard 4 4, which does not necessarily mean that it follows a natural 4
The quarter (crotchet) rest (𝄽) may take a different form in older music. [1] [2] [3] The four-measure rest or longa rest are only used in long silent passages which are not divided into bars. [citation needed] The combination of rests used to mark a silence follows the same rules as for note values. [4]
Quarter note triplets, due to their different rhythmic feel, may be articulated differently as "1 dra git 3 dra git". [ 3 ] Rather than numbers or nonsense syllables, a random word may be assigned to a rhythm to clearly count each beat.
