Emanuele Krakamp was born in Messina in 1813. He began studying
music with his father. In 1841 he was named first flute in the royal
orchestra of Naples and was also named flute professor of San Pietro
a Majella Conservatory in 1860. Krakamp performed concerts in Europe,
America, the Middle East and North Africa. The Fantasy Opus 248 based
on themes from Verdi's Opera "La Traviata" is part of a group of three
fantasies called "La triade verdiana", first published in 1865. Krakamp
died in Naples in 1883.

The version for saxophone remains close to the original version
for flute, with only a few register changes because of range issues.
Some passages in the piano part have been re-enforced harmonically
and the ending has been slightly changed, to create a more definitive
ending. .The work is available in our saxophone
music catalog.
