August Labitzky

August Labitzky (October 22, 1832, Petschau – August 28, 1903, Bad Reichenhall) was a Czech composer and kapellmeister, and the son of Joseph Labitzky. Although Labitzky was not as prolific a composer as his father, his Ouverture Characteristique has been occasionally recorded. Written in 1858, it depicts Emperor Charles IV while out hunting.
