Even shorter notes
The pair of 2048th notes with 9 beams that appear at the end of this passage were notation errors; they should have been 1024th notes. Likewise, the seven 1024th notes (8 beams) that precede it should have been 512th notes.
For even faster values, you just keep dividing the note in half and adding a flag: the 512th note has seven flags or beams; the 1024th note takes eight flags; the 2048th note has nine flags; and the 4096th note has ten flags.
Likewise, 128th notes are used in the explicitly notated ornamental runs in the opening Adagio of Bach's g minor Sonata for Unaccompanied Violin (BWV 1001).
The two hundred fifty-sixth note (also called a demisemihemidemisemiquaver) is a note which, has a value of 1⁄256 of a whole note. In musical notation it has 6 flags or beams.
Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. In music, a thirty-second note (American) or demisemiquaver (British) is a note played for 1⁄32 of the duration of a whole note (or semibreve). It lasts half as long as a sixteenth note (or semiquaver) and twice as long as a sixty-fourth (or hemidemisemiquaver).
It depends what is meant by “notes”. A piano has a finite range of predetermined notes, depending on the fixed tuning of the open strings, but a violin has a theoretically infinite range of possibilities, depending on the variable placing of fingers.
In music notation, a sixty-fourth note (American), or hemidemisemiquaver or semidemisemiquaver (British), sometimes called a half-thirty-second note, is a note played for half the duration of a thirty-second note (or demisemiquaver), hence the name.
Did you know? Hemidemisemiquavers are the fastest musical notes that are commonly played, and performing them well can stretch human technique to its limit.
The quarter note has become the de facto standard 1 beat music note. This has happened as the 4/4 time signature is the most popular (with 3/4 and 2/4 following close behind) and quarter notes have a duration of 1 in these time signatures.
In musical notation, a 8192nd note may be called. Semihemidemisemihemidemisemidemisemi quavers.
Western music typically uses 12 notes – C, D, E, F, G, A and B, plus five flats and equivalent sharps in between, which are: C sharp/D flat (they're the same note, just named differently depending on what key signature is being used), D sharp/E flat, F sharp/G flat, G sharp/A flat and A sharp/B flat.
A sixteenth note (also called a semiquaver) represents the duration of a quarter of a beat in a 4/4-time signature. A sixteenth note (also called a semiquaver) represents the duration of a quarter of a beat in a 4/4-time signature.
In Unicode, the symbol U+266A (♪) is a single eighth note and U+266B (♫) is a beamed pair of eighth notes.
In drum notation, ghost notes serve a slightly different purpose: They indicate a note played softly between accented beats. Other names for ghost notes include "false notes," "dead notes," and "muted notes."

We perceive some sounds as having no pitch – a knock on a door, for example. We can distinguish if this sound is high or low, but we can't assign it a musical note. Pitch is only perceived when a sound has a single frequency or evenly spaced frequency bands and periodic waves.
The human hearing range is generally taken as being 20 Hertz to 20kHz, and so musicians might wonder: How many octaves is that? The answer: 10.
Actually, a tritone refers to two different possible intervals: 7/5 tritone 10/7 also called a tritone. The idea behind twelve is to build up a collection of notes using just one ratio. The advantage to doing so is that it allows a uniformity that makes modulating between keys possible.
