Life
Bobrowicz was born in Kraków.
He worked as an editor for the music-publishing firm of Breitkopf & Härtel in Leipzig, Germany. Later he ran his own publishing business. He was responsible for probably hundreds of titles, published mainly in Polish.
The venture which brought him probably the most fame was the 4th–10th editions of the original classical genealogical and heraldic reference, Herbarz Polski (The Polish Armorial), by heraldist and author Kasper Niesiecki (1682–1744). They appeared under Breitkopf & Härtel imprint between 1839 and 1846.
Most of Bobrowicz's guitar pieces are in the form of themes and variations.
He died in Dresden.
