The works published by Demachi known so far number 17, four of which are violin concertos, but others appeared without indication of the opus number, and still others have been found that are hand-written, among which are two program symphonies entitled InchLe Campane di RomaInch and InchIl corso del giorno alla CampagnaInch. The compositional skill that led him to fame was not second to that of performer the intense concert activity forced him through the courts of all Europe, where he was highly requested and appreciated. On this , the ensemble Trigono Armonico led by Maurizio Cadossi performs a vast anthology of his chamber music production on period instruments in full respect of the philological executive practice.
