Musical equivalent of two whole notes

I believe the answer is:

breve

(Other definitions for breve that I've seen before include "Note equivalent to four minims" , "Long musical note" , "Long note (mus.)" , "Accent - musical note" , "(In music) long note" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
