thirty-second notes
Briefest standard musical durations
Thirty-second notes are musical notes held for one thirty-second of a whole note's duration—half as long as a sixteenth note.
In written music, they have filled noteheads with three flags on the stem.
At fast tempos, thirty-second notes pass almost too quickly to distinguish individually, creating rapid runs or trills: The passage dissolves into thirty-second notes.
