Biography

Karel Navrátil (24 April 1867 – 23 December 1936) was a Czech violinist, composer and music educator. He was born in Prague, and studied in Vienna under Guido Adler and František Ondříček, afterward working as a composer and music teacher in Prague. Notable students include composers Helen Hopekirk, Arthur Hinton and John Powell. He died in Prague.

Some sources have confused him with Karl Nawratil (1836–1914), attributing to him a substantial output of chamber music actually composed by the latter.
