Initial comment, for short (5)

I believe the answer is:

intro

(Other definitions for intro that I've seen before include "Beginning (informal)" , "First bars of a piece of popular music" , "Brief passage to start a piece of popular music" , "Song's opening" , "Lead" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
