Keyboard Sonata No. 43 in F minor is a composition by the Portuguese composer Carlos de Seixas. It was composed in the Baroque era, around the mid-18th century. The exact date of composition is not known, but it is believed to have been written sometime between 1740 and 1750. The sonata is written for solo keyboard and consists of three movements. The first movement is marked Allegro, and it is in F minor. It is a fast-paced movement with a lively and energetic character. The second movement is marked Andante, and it is in A-flat major. It is a slower and more lyrical movement, with a more contemplative character. The third and final movement is marked Allegro, and it is in F minor. It is a fast-paced movement with a lively and energetic character, similar to the first movement. The sonata is characterized by its use of counterpoint, which is a technique where two or more melodic lines are played simultaneously. Seixas uses this technique throughout the sonata, creating a complex and intricate texture. The sonata also features a variety of ornamentation, such as trills, mordents, and turns, which add to its virtuosic character. Keyboard Sonata No. 43 in F minor was premiered during Seixas's lifetime, but the exact date and location of the premiere are not known. The sonata has since become a popular piece in the keyboard repertoire and is frequently performed and recorded today.
