the opera); it has been ‘corrected’ here only in those cases where genuine confusion
might otherwise arise.
Editorial completions
Where editorial completion has been necessary (particularly in the case of ‘missing’
parts such as Flute 1, Violin 2 and Cor anglais; see above), this is shown in small
notation. Small notes are also used for corrections and other editorial suggestions.
Faulenzer (notational abbreviations)
Both ŠFS and OP make widespread use of Faulenzer: common notational
abbreviations which indicate repeated figuration patterns, or single or multiple slashes
through note stems to indicate multiple repetitions of the same note. All have been
written out in full except in those cases in the latter category where keeping the
abbreviated form is clear in itself and idiomatic for the instrument(s) concerned.
Janáček’s and Štross’s application of Faulenzer is often erratic. In the following
example, a literal reading of the original notation (a) would result in (b), with an awkwardly
repeated e (marked here with an asterisk), whereas (c) is surely what was intended. (This
is confirmed by parallel — though not identical — written-out figuration in ŠVS.)
