and work. Others who have been helpful to me in Brno include Mrs Jitka Buriánková,<br />
Mrs Eleonora Doleželová, Mgr. Viktor Pantůček and Mgr. Simona Romportlová at the<br />
Music History Division <strong>of</strong> the Moravian Regional Museum; and, especially in recent<br />
visits, Mgr. Jan Špaček <strong>of</strong> the Institute <strong>of</strong> Musicology, Masaryk <strong>University</strong>.<br />
I also thank the staff <strong>of</strong> the Musiksammlung <strong>of</strong> the Österreichische<br />
Nationalbibliothek in Vienna for allowing me access to an important manuscript full<br />
score <strong>of</strong> Jenůfa which has not hitherto, to my knowledge, been studied at first hand in<br />
any great detail by those trying to unpick the various revision layers in the opera. In<br />
particular, I am grateful to Mag. Stefan Engl for preparing a high-resolution scan <strong>of</strong> a<br />
particularly elusive detail from this manuscript. Ben Newing <strong>of</strong> Alfred A. Kalmus Ltd<br />
(representing Universal Edition in London) and Werner Schembera-Teufenbach and<br />
Heinz Stolba at Universal Edition (Vienna) were also most kind in securing me access<br />
to this source. Herr Stolba has additionally given welcome, generous and detailed<br />
advice on the reconstruction <strong>of</strong> the score and its physical appearance; and, as part <strong>of</strong><br />
ongoing preparations for an edition derived from the present study, he and Universal<br />
Edition have supplied me with computer hardware and s<strong>of</strong>tware which have raised the<br />
level <strong>of</strong> presentation beyond what would otherwise have been possible.<br />
Dr Christine Banks <strong>of</strong> the British Library and Pr<strong>of</strong>. Laurence Eaves <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Department <strong>of</strong> Physics, <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Nottingham</strong>, gave me helpful advice on the use<br />
<strong>of</strong> fibre-optic light in examining pasted-over manuscript <strong>sources</strong>, advice which could<br />
only be put into practice when John Tyrrell donated such a device to the Janáček<br />
Archive in Brno (largely, I fear, on my account).<br />
Dr Nicholas Sackman at the Department <strong>of</strong> Music, <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Nottingham</strong>,<br />
gave the project a considerable boost by equipping the department with the Sibelius<br />
music-writing programme, and by <strong>of</strong>fering help and advice in getting me started on<br />
