Karel Navrátil (1867-1936)

Does anyone know Navrátil's music at all?

It is possible there is confusion between Karel Navratil (1867-1936) and Karl Nawratil (1836-1914), who composed the string quartet recorded at IMSLP.

There is a rendition of String Quartet No. 2 in d minor, op. 21 (1898) by Steve's Bedroom Band on IMSLP. As I listen to it again I'm reminded of other Slavic romantics (Dvorak, Foerster). tuneful melodies, dynamic, full of starts and stops. I definitely would like to hear more from Navratil.

From what I can glean, Nawratil is responsible for Opp 1-28, mainly chamber music and piano works, while Navratil composed operas, orchestral music (concerti, symphony, symphonic poems)

More than possible. It looks a right old mess...

Unfortunately, the Wikipedia article is a real train wreck.  The composer category pages for both Karel Navrátil and Karl Nawrátil at IMSLP are a little more helpful and include a work list for Karl Nawrátil with information gleaned from Hofmeister and Pazdírek.

Thanks. Very helpful.
