From Miram Webster, today's word is hemidemisemiquaver:
hemidemisemiquaver \hem-ih-dem-ih-SEM-ih-kway-ver\ noun
: a musical note with the time value of 1/64 of a whole note : sixty-fourth note
Example sentence:
The pianist's fingers became a blur flying over the keys as she played the difficult hemidemisemiquavers of the allegro movement.
Stumbles right off the tongue.

This is just the british terminology - instead of whole note, half note, they use quaver, semiquaver, etc.
