Keyboard Sonata No. 10 in C major 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 is in a binary form. It begins with a lively and cheerful theme that is developed throughout the movement. The second movement is marked Andante and is in a ternary form. It is a slow and expressive piece that showcases the composer's ability to create beautiful melodies. The final movement is marked Allegro and is in a binary form. It is a fast and energetic piece that brings the sonata to a thrilling conclusion. The sonata is characterized by its use of ornamentation, which was a common feature of Baroque music. Seixas uses trills, mordents, and other embellishments to add interest and complexity to the music. The sonata also features a strong sense of rhythm and a clear harmonic structure, which are also typical of Baroque music. Keyboard Sonata No. 10 in C major 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 by pianists and harpsichordists around the world.
