		Graun teilt mit dem Dresdener Kapellmeister Johann Adolf Hasse (1699 - 1783) das Verdienst, die italienische Oper des Alessandro Scarlatti zum Höhepunkt ihrer Ausbildung geführt zu haben, und erntete, wie jener, dafür den Dank der Zeitgenossen in so reichem Maß, dass dem Publikum für die Werke eines Bach und Händel nur geringe Teilnahme übrigblieb.
		Außer diesem Werk und 28 Opern hinterließ Graun noch eine große Zahl von Kirchenkompositionen, unter denen ein zu Ehren des Siegs bei Prag 1756 geschriebenes Tedeum hervorragt, sowie einige Instrumentalkompositionen.

		The libretto for Carl Heinrich Graun's 1755 opera, Montezuma, was written by Friedrich II of Prussia.
		Graun had been in Friedrich's service since 1735, having created an impression when his first Italian opera, Lo speccio della fedeltà, was performed at the then Crown Prince's wedding.
		Twenty two years previously, Vivaldi had taken on the subject, in his lost opera Montezuma (1733), and there is some suggestion that Graun might have seen it while in Italy in 1740.
