b. 1-24

composition: Op. 28 No. 4, Prelude in E minor

..

As is devoid of the tempo indication and all further performance indications, which is related to the fact that this manuscript remained unfinished. Therefore, we do not regard those shortcomings as variants and – if an indication is present in the remaining sources – we do not record it in separate notes.

In A one can see a crossing-out of an earlier indication, most probably Lento.

b. 21

composition: Op. 28 No. 4, Prelude in E minor

..

In A one can see a crossed-out long accent over the e1 minim. According to us, it is likely that the mark was replaced by a  hairpin (cf. the Prelude No. 3 in G Major, b. 17-18).
