sixteenth notes
Four per beat
Sixteenth notes are musical notes lasting one-sixteenth of a whole note, or one-quarter of a beat in common time.
They're written with filled noteheads, stems, and double flags or beams.
Fast passages often consist of sixteenth notes: The pianist's fingers flew through the sixteenth-note runs.
British English calls them semiquavers.
