his CD “Leipzig Polonaise”, one of his major compositions.
Jan Bochański (natural name Werner Bockelmann) was born in St. Wendel/Saar/Germany as son of a doctor family (5th generation). After World War II he was in Melsungen/Germany where he got rare piano lessons and did not have composition but made his first attempts to compose. 1947 to 1953 he studied medicine and law in Homburg/Saar, Paris and Heidelberg. After his MD, thesis and specialisation in ophthalmology he worked scientifically and got severyl patents atz the Battelle-Institute. He settled as ophthalmologist in Oberursel/Germany, later in Frankfurt (Main).
He was active Rallye-driver (seven participation at the “Tour d’Europe”), motor journalist and wrote a book about eye-glasses-cardriving, he was free lance for several car magazines and radio stations. Since 1975 he regularly writes compositions, mainly piano works in form of variations, dances and character pieces.
Adam has been called a healer. His music considered to be from a realm of peace and possibility. Interestingly, he happens to be a well trained general surgeon. And while medicine has received much of his focus over the years, music has been on his mind since childhood. Trained classically, Adam quickly became his teacher’s prodigy and competed nationally.
( As the years passed, he became interested in composing his own music. Formal training in theory, jazz, improvisation, orchestration and production led to a seasoned young composer who still had to mature. So what better place to do it than in medical school. A graduate of the class of 1990 Adam went on to complete a surgical residency and set up a practice near Madison, WI. He released “Echoes In The Canyon” in 1998—his first solo CD. In 2002 he released “Center of My Heart.” In 2005 he released “Keys of Hope.”
Medical graduate of Cambridge University (1971). Career in academic medicine (retired 2017). Now pursuing career in music, focussing on composition. After piano lessons in childhood in England, started composing at age 17 (1964). Initial works for solo piano and for small instrumental ensembles; somewhat later, a few vocal works. Self-directed musical education included reading theory, and studying and copying scores. Milestones include performances of music for chamber orchestra by community orchestras in California (early 1990s) and Philadelphia (2005), and (especially) recent professional performances: rehearsal/recording of Sinfonia No. 1 by The Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia (COP; 2015); readings of my 4 string quartets by the Wister Quartet (Philadelphia) in 2017-18; performance of String Quartet No. 4 by Wister Quartet (March 2020); performances of work for solo viola (Danza per Viola da Braccio); transcription of Mozart Adagio in B minor (K. 540) for string orchestra performed by COP in January 2020.
An interest in musicology is exemplified by the following article:

A doctor and chemist by profession and training, Borodin made important early contributions to organic chemistry. Although he is presently known better as a composer, he regarded medicine and science as his primary occupations, only practising music and composition in his spare time or when he was ill.[7] As a chemist, Borodin is known best for his work concerning organic synthesis, including being among the first chemists to demonstrate nucleophilic substitution, as well as being the co-discoverer of the aldol reaction. Borodin was a promoter of education in Russia and founded the School of Medicine for Women in Saint Petersburg, where he taught until 1885.
