crochet

A quarter note (crochet) is 1 beat or a quarter of a measure, meaning that four quarter notes are needed to complete a full 4/4 measure! An eighth note (quaver) is 1/2 of a beat.

A crotchet in music is a note that is one beat long in 4/4 time. Americans call it a 'quarter-note' – a straight translation of the admirably clear German 'Viertelnote'. For the French, it's a noire – 'black' – which is nothing less than the truth.

From Middle English crochet, from Old French crochet (“small hook”), from croc + -et (diminutive suffix), from Old Norse krókr (“hook”). The musical note was named so because of a small hook on its stem in black notation (in modern notation this hook is on the quaver/eighth note).

So, any time you see the crotchet in music notation it means that the note lasts for one beat of the rhythm - this won't be changed by the time signature, the pitch, or the tempo.
