ŠFS into line with the Kovařovic version of the score are in red ink. 7 Most of the
folios that had been glued together as part of the revision process have been prised
apart, with varying degrees of success and resultant damage. Numerous paste-overs
were made during the course of revisions: some of these have been lifted and re-
attached at one edge with adhesive tape (see below, Fig. 2.4), although where the tape
has dried out, many of these paste-over strips are now loose in the score.
Act 1 An unnumbered, interleaved folio at the beginning of the score, written on
blank paper, is blank on the recto; on the verso, in Janáček’s hand, is a list of
characters (Osoby) with voice types, a general description of the opera’s setting and
the time-scale of the three Acts (see VOLUME II/1, iii).
There follows the first (unnumbered) folio, containing the work’s title and the
scene description for Act 1:
Její pastorkyňa.

7 Kovařovic’s main changes to the orchestration (Tyrrell’s ‘FS 6’, see below, TABLE 2.1) were made
first in the copy of the full score prepared for the Prague première by J. Košťálek, BmJA, A33.744 a–c;
see Tyrrell 1996, xii and xiv / Tyrrell 2000, vi–vii. They were subsequently entered into ŠFS.
