What is the shortest note in written music?

Answer 1

The shortest musical note is the demisemihemidemisemiquaver, lasting for 1/256 of a beat.

Answer 2

One of the shortest musical notes ever played in a piece of music I have seen is/was in Beethoven's first movement of his 'Pathethique' sonata. In the opening movement quite a few Hundred twenty-eighth notes/quasihemidemisemiquavers/semihemidemisemi quavers were used.

Answer 3

The shortest commonly-used note in music of defined length is a semihemidemisemiquaver, known in American English as a hundred-twenty-eighth note. Although notes of such relative duration are rare, they can be found in Beethoven's Pathetique piano sonata.

Answer 4

Technically the shortness of note length has no limit. To make a note half as long, simply double the number it is named for. Notes longest to shortest are: whole note, half note, quarter note, eighth note, 16th note, 32nd note, 64th note, etc. You can go on forever.

However, notes shorter than 32nd notes are rarely used.

Answer 5

it depends on what you mean. The smallest note in it's physical size is the Grace note. If you mean the shortest note rhythmically, it is impossible to range, although you probably couldnt get shorter than a 32nd note. If you mean the lowest note, thats kind of a confusing question.

Answer 6

There is no end to the musical scale, though relevancy is not there, most music is audible by human. So the more accurate question is: What is the range of human hearing?
