Julian Cochran is an English / Australian composer and virtuoso pianist who mastered numerous musical genres. The piano works of Cochran receive regular international performances in the great concert halls of Europe.

The majority of Cochrnan’s works are exclusively for the solo piano, the most notable examples being his three Piano Sonatas, eight Preludes, five Romananian Dances and five Mazurkas. His compositions are technically demanding but emphasize rhythmic invention, structural integrity and expressive depth. Cochran made major innovations to the piano repertoire including the mastery of the scale consisting of alternating tones and semi-tones, independently invented by Cochran while playing the guitar which he named the Chain Scale (and later the scale of alternating semi-tones and tone-and-a-halves).
