<strong>The</strong> lyra is a lyre-shaped portable glockenspiel <strong>of</strong> the sort used in military<br />

bands, usually designated by the term ‘campanelli’ in Italianate nomenclature.<br />

In UE 1996, zvonky [literally ‘little bells’] is taken to designate an unpitched<br />

bell. However, the notation (admittedly <strong>of</strong>ten erratic) and context in ŠFS suggest that,<br />

whilst the onstage use <strong>of</strong> the instrument (in the recruits’ scene, Act 1 Scene 4) should<br />

indeed be some sort <strong>of</strong> unpitched handbell, elsewhere (e.g. in Act 1 Scene 5, fig. 59 ff,<br />

and Act 3 Scene 6, fig. 41) a pitched bell is probably intended. Accordingly, the<br />

present edition uses a single-line stave for the unpitched passages, and a conventional<br />

five-line treble staff for the pitched ones. <strong>The</strong> original notation in ŠFS is given where<br />

necessary in footnotes.<br />

Triangle<br />

Judging from ŠFS, Janáček may have regarded the triangle at certain points in the<br />

score as pitched. However, its notation is riddled with inconsistencies, and in the<br />

present reconstruction the modern unpitched convention is adopted throughout.<br />

Harp<br />

Because <strong>of</strong> the peculiarities <strong>of</strong> the instrument and for the sake <strong>of</strong> clarity, the harp part<br />

has <strong>of</strong>ten been renotated here either enharmonically or with replacement key signature<br />

(e.g. I/i/145 and Act 1, fig.16; Act 2, figs. 15 and 117; Act 3, fig. 1a).<br />

‘Ad libitum’ parts: contrabassoon and trumpet 3<br />

In addition to the relatively infrequently used fourth horn and tuba, the 1904 version<br />

<strong>of</strong> Jenůfa also contains two instruments that did not survive the 1907 revisions: a<br />

contrabassoon and a third trumpet, both <strong>of</strong> which play only in the closing pages <strong>of</strong><br />
