The Makropulos Affair Opera in three acts 馬克羅普洛斯事件歌劇 總譜 環球版

因此，《馬克羅普洛斯事件》的新評論版主要以作曲家本人參與的最新版本為基礎，但也考慮到了一些細微的調整以及首部作品的指揮弗蘭蒂謝克-諾伊曼（František Neumann）制定的詳細動態標記方案。本版本未考慮作曲家逝世後進行的任何樂器修飾。另一方面，在少數特殊情況下，本版也會回歸到親筆簽名的樂譜--在某些地方，人們發現抄寫員對作曲家手稿的抄寫有誤，或者抄寫員根據布爾諾歌劇院管弦樂隊當時的技術能力修改了記譜法。有關弗蘭蒂謝克-諾伊曼（František Neumann）和奧塔卡-奧斯特西爾（Otakar Ostrcil）所採用的速度方案的重要資訊，以及雅那切克的主要指揮家查理斯-麥克拉斯爵士（Sir Charles Mackerras）的實用建議和編輯意見，都直接印在相關段落下方。本版本與上述資料來源不同之處的所有方面均在編輯報告中作了詳細論述，該報告可向出版商索取。

原文簡介:
The new critical edition of 'The Makropulos Affair' is thus mainly based on the most recent version that the composer himself had a hand in, but also takes into account some minor adjustments and the detailed scheme of dynamic markings worked out by the conductor of the first production, František Neumann, who implemented these changes in conjunction with Janácek. The present edition does not take into consideration any instrumental retouching carried out after the composer's death. On the other hand, in a few exceptional cases it does return to the autograph score - in places where it was noticed that the copyist had produced an incorrect transcription of the composer's manuscript, or where the copyist amended the notation in view of the technical capabilities of the Brno opera orchestra at the time. Important information relating to the tempo schemes adopted by František Neumann and Otakar Ostrcil, as well as practical advice from the leading Janácek conductor Sir Charles Mackerras and editorial remarks are printed directly under the passages in question. All the aspects in which the present edition differs from the above-mentioned sources are discussed in detail in the editor's report, which is available from the publisher.

'Poor 300-year-old beauty! People took her to be a thief, a liar, an unfeeling animal. They called her names such as beast and canaille, they wanted to strangle her - and what was she guilty of? That she had to live a long time. I was sorry for her.' (Leoš Janá?ek to Kamila Stösslová, 5 December 1925)
