The fact appears to be that the invention of the shorter notes followed the demand created by the general progress of music, a demand which may fairly be supposed to have reached its limit in the quarter-demisemiquaver, or 1 / 16 of a quaver, occasionally met with in modern music. It is however certain that the longer notes were in use nearly 300 years earlier, in the time of Franco of Cologne, and it seems equally clear that the introduction of the shorter kinds is of later date than the time of De Muris. Muris) to a work entitled 'L'antica Musica ridotta alia moderna Prattica,' by Vicentino (1555), in which it is explicitly stated that De Muris invented all the notes, from the Large to the Semiquaver. The idea of expressing the values of notes by diversity of form has been ascribed by certain writers to De Muris (about 1340), but this is undoubtedly an error, the origin of which is traced by both Hawkins (Hist. A note which is half the length of a crotchet, and therefore the eighth part of a semibreve hence the German name, which signifies, 'eighth-note.' It is written thus, its Rest being represented by. With a sixteenth note triplet (semiquaver triplet ), you can performe 3 in the equivalent of the duration of 2, so you can divide 1 beats by 6 in a simple meter time signature.QUAVER (Ger. Sixteenth note triplet (Semiquaver triplet )īelow is a sixteenth note triplet (semiquaver triplet ): With a half note triplet (minim triplet ), you can performe 3 in the equivalent of the duration of 2, so you can divide 4 beats by 3 in a simple meter time signature.Įxample of half note triplets (minim triplets ): With an quarter note triplet (crotchet triplet ), you can performe 3 in the equivalent of the duration of 2, so you can divide 2 beats by 3 in a simple meter time signature.Įxample of quarter note triplets (crotchet triplets ):īelow is a half note triplet (minim triplet ): The quarter note triplet (crotchet triplet )īelow is a quarter note triplet (crotchet triplet ): With an eighth note triplet (quaver triplet ), you can performe 3 in the equivalent of the duration of 2, so you can divide a beat by 3 in a simple meter time signature.Įxample with the famous Piano Sonata No.14, Op.27 No.2 from Ludwig van Beethoven:
The most famous triplet: The eighth note triplet (quaver triplet )īelow is an eighth note triplet (quaver triplet ): Or more exactly, A triplet can put 3 notes of equal length in the equivalent of the duration of 2 notes of equal length. The rule is: A triplet can put 3 music notes in the equivalent of 2. Normally, in such a time signature, you can't divide the beat by 3, 5, 7, or 9, but the only way to do it is to use tuplets.Ī triplet is a tuplet that permit to divide the beat (or more than 1 beat) by 3 in simple meters. All these terms are applied to rhythms that involves dividing the beat into a different way from that usually permitted by the time signature.įor example, with a time signature, you can only divide each by beat by a multiple of 2, so 1 beat can contains 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32. In music theory, you will find these terms: Irrational rhythm, artificial division, or abnormal divisions.
