A fact from Nicolas-Charles Bochsa appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 18 September 2005. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Nicolas-Charles Bochsa, who helped found the Royal Academy of Music in 1822, was only in London because he had fled France five years earlier to avoid prosecution for multiple counts of forgery and fraud?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2005/September.

His name's origine

What is "Bochsa"? Was he Czech origine? --Sheynhertz _געשׁ״ך 05:23, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure but I had wondered if there was a connection with Nicholas Sarkozy (full surname Sárközy de Nagy-Bócsa). Arniep 09:30, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bócsa is a small place in Hungary, originally Nagybócsa near Tázlár, south of Kecskemét http://www.1hungary.com/info/tazlar/. Arniep 10:12, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Köszönöm! but his name is bochsa [boksa]. Are you Hungarian? --Sheynhertz _געשׁ״ך 12:24, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, but I am sure that Bochsa is a variant of Bocsa (there is one of this spelling in the 1891 trade and industry directory of Hungary. Arniep 09:33, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Charles Bochsa (d 1821)

Also apparently a Charles Bochsa (b ca 1760 - 1821 or so), with an IMSLP entry. Relative? Schissel | Sound the Note! 14:06, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Birthplace

I've found a second obituary which identifies Bochsa's birthplace as Prague, Bohemia (in those days). It's The Late Chevalier Bochsa Empire, Sydney 9 January, 1856 (sourced to Gazette), at Trove. Bochsa was on tour with his paramour and partner of 17 years' duration, Anna Bishop. She clearly took a personal hand in the funeral arrangements, including commissioning the statuesque grave monument. It is inconceivable that the undertakers and press would not have consulted her on details for obituary and panegyric purposes. He is known to have moved to Paris as a young child, but an intimate companion like Bishop would have known his true birthplace. Admittedly not a fully-verified source, but surely preferable to the statements in French Wikipedia and the ADB which offer no verification whatever.
