A breve is a "double whole note" in American.

Hey, qt, what is a 25-dimensional concatenation?

I'm waiting for the money to come through [What was that you asked, Veronika? Where from?? Don't be so impertinent] for my commissioning fund, then you might find out sooner, CD. Wink

Well, I'm going to put a plug in for qt's new piece for two pianos, which is being premiered in the Transit Festival in Leuven (university town a little outside of Brussels) in October (can't remember the exact date, qt himself will have to fill you all in on that one). I've seen the score, involves amongst other things fascinating interplays between staggered materials between the pianos which are nearly the same but not quite (and rhythmically modified), as if presenting distorted or blurred 'echoes' within memory. Thoroughly different to the solo piano piece he wrote for me, which some of you may have heard. I'm not playing in it, by the way (though am playing in the same festival, including new works of Downie and Radulescu), it will be pianists from Ensemble SurPlus. Well worth hearing if anyone is in that vicinity, or generally fancies going to that festival (always an interesting festival and quite different to the 'majors' amongst European festivals.

Divide by 3 means beats are a third of a breve makes a whole load more sense.
The American terms for rhythm actually make this easier to comprehend. But note that it is a third of a semibreve (whole note), not a breve (what do you call that in American terminology?), as (say) a time signature of 2/1 would be a bar of duration two semibreves.

Doh!  A throwback to my early years when I constantly called semibreves breves.  Thanks for correcting me.  I may just have to become American......

(Another quick plug for the French names, which in shortening order from breve translate as square, round, white, black, hook, double hook, triple hook, quadruple hook and you probably get the idea from there. Don't know what they call a long, though.)
