Help me understand some sheet music I have?

[sotteot]

My sheet music confuses me. The music is in 2/4 time. As you can see, measures 10-13 contain more than 8 16th notes. it doesn't note any time or measure changes. they look to me like regular 16th notes, but they shouldn't fit in the measures.

What is this? How do I go about playing, counting, etc. this?

I'm particularly concerned about measure 13.

They look like they are in threes. Are they like triplets?

[trish89]

hm, yes they should be triplets, so you have 3 instead 2, it's abit quicker, use your metronome
however what is it for notes?

[pianowolfi]

Yes these are triplets. Like some other composers, Mr. Volodos didn't write the little 3 above, I guess because it's obvious. In m. 13 the first half are triplets, the second half normal sixteehths.

I meant what is it for sheet music  (not notes) Iam curious

Thank you guys.

Later in the piece, it has some sixteenth notes under a line and a 6. Would that be..sextuplets, or something?

I suppose he felt the need there..?

Trish, it is Arcadi Volodos' version of Mozart's Turkish March.

Iam listening to it on youtube now, sounds interresting and hard too

I don't know the sheet but i think you should be directed by the main melody (with that eighth-notes...) so if there are under 6 notes, they should be in sextuplets
but I haven't seen the sheet
