Largo written in FES instead of Allegro, which was crossed out, is most probably a teaching correction – it indicates the way the piece should be practised, and not a change of concept of the Prelude. Placing the Prelude in E
Minor provided with Largo between the Preludes in F
Major and D Major (Lento and Sostenuto, respectively) seems to be unlikely due to the structure of the entire cycle.
