Karel Navrátil
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.
