Don't you like the word? Quite a mouthful, too -- such a big word for such a tiny sound (a sixty-fourth note).

Gosh! Shocked

I had to look up in a dictionary, since I thought it was a joke. But, no, it's a real word. Surprised
As if it had something to do with German. Only they have these more-than-fifteen-lettered words.

Thank you, Conchita, for revealing this lovely word to me.

Hemidemisemiquaver? Shocked

Speaking of notes, just a note to let you know that this nearly unintelligible procession of prefixes and syllables is allegedly 'chiefly British'. Laughing
