Demofoonte was set to music at least 73 times, by relatively unknown composers as Felice Alessandri (1783) as well as by composers we are more familiar with like [[Antonio Vivaldi]] (date unknown) and [[Johann Adolph Hasse]] (1748), Josef Mysliveček (1769 and 1775), [[Niccolò Jomelli]] (1770) and [[Giovanni Paisiello]] (1775).<ref name="Wikipedia"/> | ||
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart set two arias from Demofoonte to music: Timante's aria "Misero me! ... Misero pargoletto" from Act III, Scene 4 and 5. (KV 73e, 1770), and Creusa's aria "Non curo l'affetto" from Act I, Scene 7 (KV 74b, 1771) <ref name="WikiKV"/> | |||
