It is not certain whether Chopin imagined a barless introduction written with notes of normal size or with small ones. According to us, it is more likely that Gutmann did not recognise small notes in the notation of [A] and a similar mistake committed in the base text to EE or by the engraver of this edition (cf. the Prelude in C
minor, Op. 45, bar 79) than an arbitrary change of regular notation to small notes in FE. Other scenarios explaining the origin of this difference are also possible, yet the notation with small notes, used more often in this type of time signature free fragments, generally seems to be more likely here.
