A quarter note or a crotchet (British) represents one beat of the bar in simple quadruple time (4/4). In cut time, all values of any note is halved, which gives the music a faster feel. Playing a crotchet not in cut time is almost as playing a quaver in simple time.

THIS IS TRUE, so, in simple ENGLISH : in cut time a 1/4 would be like an 1/8 note.

Rather than "1,2,3,4" ( 4 quarter notes) you'd say "1-and 2-and ". OK?
