Verbal indications

b. 1

composition: Op. 28 No. 14, Prelude in E♭ minor

Allegro in A (→FC→GE, →FE→EE)

Largo in FES
..

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.
