JENUFA corrections, variants, & questions

Text color blue is used for: definite and obvious misprints; entries which appear to be editorial from J.M. Dürr and which are based on NO sources; or places which Janáček himself corrected (for instance in KPp1 & KPp2). 

Page numbers refer to the 1996 Universal Edition full-score. The more recent 2003 corrected UE full-score (UE 34 808) has included some of these corrections, but also made some of these corrections into new mistakes. That 2003 edition's pages are all simply 10 pages later than the edition I reference here. Thus when I mention page 9, that should be page 19 in the newer edition.

JENUFA - ACT I. 

p.9, #5 +5&7 instead of “Šte-va” (VS69, FS69), should be “Šte-vo” (like PL, FS03, VS08, PFS, VS17, KA17, FS18, VS42) 

p.9, #6 -7 Jenůfa, instead of “vě -še-la” (FS03, VS69, FS69), should be “vě -ša-la” (PL, KPp1, VS08, PFS, VS17, KA17, FS18, VS42, VS00) (in KPp1 & PFS “-še-” is crossed out and replaced with “-ša-”) 

p.9, #6 -3 instead of “rá-no” (VS69, FS69), should be “rá-na” (PL, FS03, VS08, VS17, KA17, FS18, VS42) 

p.19, #11 +3 Števa, C# here is correct (KPp1, VS08, VS69, FS69), however, some editions mistakenly have C natural (PFS VS17, 42) 

p.19, #11 +5 OSSIA: Cl. 2 has printed B natural (like PFS & FS03), rest of orchestra has C, Eb, G perhaps should be same as Cl. 1 (sounding C natural) ? 

p.22, #16 -2&6 Laca, instead of “žlu-tě” (FS69), should be “žlu-té” (FS03, VS08, VS17, FS18) p.24, #17 “Tempo I” should be clearly marked here, not one bar earlier p.26, #18 add footnote explanation of change of vocal parts from Kovařovic version 

p.41, #28 -2 Jano, instead of “na-u-či-la” (FS03, FS69), should be “na-u-či-ly” (like PL, VS08, VS17, FS18, HM34, VS42, VS69) in KPp1 & PFS “-la-” is crossed out and replaced with “-ly-” ! 

p.44, #29 +2 Vln. 2, missing # on g (in FS69, this note was tied from previous bar) 

p.45, #30 -1 Cl. 2, instead of printed D#, C#, should be printed D natural, C natural, p.53, #34 +4 Vcl. 2nd half of bar instead of Ab & Bb, should be all Bb & C (like FS03, PFS, FS69) [FS18 has Bb & Cb (misprint), however C natural in Fl., Ob., & Cl.] 

p.53, #34 +5 OSSIA (?): perhaps Fg should have no tie between half-note & quarter like FS69 (however FS03, OP, PFS, & FS18 all have ties) 

 p.54, #34 +6 OSSIA: (in first half of bar) only flute has E natural, sounds wrong w/ vlns Eb Perhaps should be Eb quarter-note, then E natural half-note (like voice). Due to lack of key signature on this page in PFS, many notes look like they are a half-step higher (violins E). Since p.48 there has been a key signature of 4 flats which were not copied on subsequent pages in originals (!) [at the bottom of the page in PFS a separate Eb has been penciled in. Perhaps correcting the flute?] 

p.55, #35 -2 Vcl. instead of B natural (FS69), should be Bb (FS18) [similar key signature problem in PFS] 

p.60, #39 +7 Laca, “za-hrá-bl” here is correct, however some editions mistakenly have “za-hra-bal” (FS03, VS17, 42, 00) [in KPp1 Janáček crossed out “-hra-bal -” and replaced with “-hrá-bl -”] 

 p.67, #42 -4 OSSIA: Starek, instead of quarter rest & three quarters (like FS03, PFS, & VS17), could be half-note & two quarters (like VS08, FS18, VS69, FS69) 

p.73, #45 -3 Fg. 1 & 2 instead of D natural (FS03, PFS, FS69), should be Db (FS18) 

p.75, #45 +2 OSSIA: Laca, instead of 4 quarter notes (like PFS, VS17, FS18, VS69, & FS69), could be same rhythm as next bar (like VS08) [in FS03 original was like VS08 then changed to FS96] 

p.75, #46 -3 OSSIA: Vcl. “sfpp” perhaps should be earlier on D natural (same as previous bar). However, NO “sfpp” was found so far in ANY original sources in this or previous bar (not in FS03, OP, PFS, FS18, FS18bb, FS69) 

 p.80, #48 VS08 & VS17 have new vocal material: Jenůfa “za ní” & Stařenka “děv-či-co” ! (missing in FS96, like PFS, FS18, FS69) Originally in FS03, this material was later cut out. VS17 has the following: 



p.84, #49 +3&5 instead of “Šte-vo”, “Šte-vu-ško” (FS69), should be “Šte-va”, “Šte-vu-ška” (like FS03, KPp1, VS08, PFS, VS17, FS18, 42, VS69) [not found in PL] 

p.100, #55 -9 Števa, instead of “Je-nů-vka” (FS69), should be “Je-nů-fka” (FS03, FS18) 

p.103, #56 +3&5 Števa, instead of “mne” (FS69), could be “mně” (FS03) 

p.103, #56 +6 Fg. 1, last note instead of quarter, should be eighth note 

p.105,#58 -2 VS69 has “non accel.” (where did this come from?), however, not in FS03, VS08 nor PFS [VS17 = “Poco largamente”, FS18 = “meno mosso”, FS69 = “Meno mosso (non accel.)”] 

p.138, #75 -2&4 Kostelnička, instead of “Šte-va” (like PFS), should be “Šte-vo” (like KPp2, VS08, VS17) (in KPp1 Janáček crossed out “-va-” and replaced with “-vo-”) 

p.138, #75 -3 Cor. 2, instead of B natural, should be printed Bb, & tied from previous note (like FS03, OP, KPp1, p2, VS08) [in PFS & FS69, next bars already cut] (in VS17 not tied, but perhaps only because here is marked start of VI-DE) 

p.138, #75 -3&1 Vln.I., instead of 1st bar tied & 2nd bar not tied (FS03), should both be same ??? [not found in FS18, FS69]  

p.142, #77 -4 OSSIA: Kostelnička, change repetitive text (to match VS17, FS18, 34, 42, VS69) “Když mne ne-po-slech-neš” (this change was suggested to Janáček by Maria Calma Vesela in VS08 before Kovařovic, and is visible in PFS in black). VS17 has the following: 

 p.143, #77 +3 OSSIA: perhaps viola should be same as next three bars (FS69). (FS96 = FS03, OP & PFS, however, changed in pencil in FS18bb !) 

 p.143-44, #77 +3-6 OSSIA: Kostelnička, change very repetitive text (preferably to match VS69 which is similar to PL) PFS = “Zí-tra rá-no půj-deš do-mu”, VS17, HM34, VS42 = “Zí-tra i-hned dom mi půj-deš”, FS18, VS69 = “Zí-tra rá-no půj-deš z do-mu”. Change was suggested by Calma Vesela in VS08 before Kovařovic based on: PL=“Zí-tra rá-no mi odsud půjdeš dom”. VS17 has the following: 

p.145, #78 -1 Chorus Basso I., instead of treble clef, should be bass clef. 

p.146, #79 -2 Cl. 1 & 2, instead of F natural, perhaps should be printed G natural, (sounding F only in this bar) (like KPp1, p2, VS08, VS17, FS18, VS42, VS69, FS69). In PFS changed by Kovařovic in red, however, NOT changed by Kovařovic in FS18. Original in FS03 black F, changed in red to G (by Kovařovic?). [Thus FS03 and PFS are opposites !?!?] 

p.148, #81 +2 perhaps Horns 3 & 4 should have accent “ > ” same as in following bars (?) p.150, #82 +4 OSSIA: Stařenka, instead of Ab (like FS03, PFS), could have Bb (like KPp1, p2, VS08, VS17, FS18, VS69, FS69) 

 p.153, #84 +6 perhaps Oboe should have “ p< > ” same as two bars later (?) 

 p.163, #88 +6 perhaps Eng.Horn should have “ < > ” same as fg., vla., &amp;amp;amp; vc. (?) 

p.164, #90 +1&3 Cor. 1 & 2, instead of printed A, should be printed A# p.164, #90 +6 Cor. 1 & 2, instead of printed E, should be printed E# p.165, #91 +2 Cor. 1 & 2, instead of printed G#, should be printed F# p.164, #90 +6 Cor. 1 & 2, instead of printed E natural, should be printed E# p.165, #91 +2 Cor. 1 & 2, instead of printed G#, should be printed F# 

p.168, #94 -4 only 2nd vlns have an A (FS03, FS69), perhaps should be G# (like VS17, VS42) KPp1, p2, VS08 all are missing this note and have only C# & E in this chord in PFS changed in black ink from A to G# ! (also changed to G# in pencil in FS18bb) p.178, #101 +4 instead of “Je-nů-fa”, should be “Je-nů-fo” (like FS03, KPp1, p2, VS08, PFS, VS17, FS18, VS42,VS69, FS69, VS93) 

 p.185, #104 +12 perhaps fg. should have “sfp” same as in previous bars (this bar does not occur in FS18 or FS69 versions) p.187, #107-2 OSSIA: Jenůfa, instead of dotted rhythm (FS03, FS18, VS69, FS69), could be straight quarter notes? (VS03, VS08, VS17, ChM) 

 p.188, #108 +3 OSSIA: Laca, instead of three quarter notes (like KPp1, VS03, VS08, FS18, VS69, FS69, VS00), could be dotted quarter, eighth, quarter (like FS03, PFS, VS17, HM34, VS42, VS93) 

 p.193, #113 -1 OSSIA: Jenůfa, instead of half-note Fb (VS03, VS17), could be quarter rest and quarter-note Ab (like FS03, FS18, FS69) 

p.195, #116 +2-6 Cor. 1, instead of printed E natural, should be printed F natural, (like PFS, FS18, FS69) 

p.197, #118 +2 Laca, instead of “mo-hí”, should be “mo-hl” (FS03, FS18, FS69)
