No indication in A (→FCGE)

sempre  in FE (→EE)

Our variant suggestion

There is no doubt that it was Chopin that added the indication sempre  in FE. To the main text we adopt a slightly differently formulated indication added by Chopin in FC (sempre con fuoco), hence we give the indication added in FE, although the latest, in the form of a variant addition.
