I/ii/78 = Act 1 Scene 2, bar 78 I/vi/348–51 = Act 1 Scene 6, bars 348 to 351 inclusive Act 3, figs 57–58 = the passage between rehearsal figures 57 and 58 References to passages in ŠFS and ŠVS are indicated by Act, folio, system (in the case of ŠVS), and bar number on the relevant folio/system. Thus, for example: ŠFS I 133v/3–134r/2 = ŠFS Act 1, fol. 133v bar 3 to fol. 134r bar 2 inclusive ŠVS II 37r/iii/3 = ŠVS Act 2, fol. 37r, system 3, bar 3 ŠVS I 9r/i–ii = ŠVS Act 2, fol. 9r, systems 1 to 2 inclusive References to KPU are indicated by page number. Instrument names In music examples, as in the score of the reconstruction, instrument names are abbreviated in the Italianate form (e.g. Viol., Fg., Cor.); elsewhere, the Anglicised abbreviations used in NG2 are employed (e.g. vn, bn, hn). Pitch notation Where written reference to specific pitches is necessary, Helmholtz notation is used (c' = middle C). Versions As will become evident during the course of this study, Jenůfa went through a complex series of revisions during the course of its early performance history. However, for the sake of clarity, five versions in particular will be referred to, each of which in turn contains one or more layers of revision, often made over the course of several years. They are identified as follows: xx

1903 version (Urfassung/original version) Composed by Janáček between 1894 and 1903, this is the original version of the opera, as submitted (with corrections) to the Prague National Theatre in March 1903. 1904 version (première version) The result of Janáček’s first substantial revision, completed by October 1903 and premièred in Brno in January 1904. 1906 version Essentially a cut form of the 1904 version, made in the summer of 1906 and performed that autumn. 1908 version The result of revisions made by Janáček over the Christmas/New Year holiday of 1906/7 and published in vocal score by the Klub přátel umění [Club of the friends of art] in 1908 (KPU). First performed in Brno in 1911, with further revisions by Janáček up until 1915: it is this ‘definitive’ revised version of the ‘1908’ score (effectively a Fassung letzter Hand) that was published as UE 1996 and UE 2000. 1916 version (Kovařovic version) Revised by the Prague conductor Karel Kovařovic (and sanctioned by Janáček), first performed in Prague in 1916 and subsequently published as UE 1917 and UE 1918. Later amendments by conductors including Václav Talich and Erich Kleiber were incorporated into UE 1969. For notes to the score of the reconstruction itself, the reader is referred to CHAPTER 2, §2.4 (pp. 57–71). xxi
