Juliusz Zarębski (3 March 1854 – 15 September 1885) was a Polish composer and pianist active in the Russian Empire.

[2] In 1870, he completed his education at the gymnasium with honors and moved to Vienna to study composition with Franz Krenn and piano with Josef Dachs.

After the crowning triumph of his public career with a successful performance at the Grand Exhibition of Paris, 1878, of the duo-keyboarded piano, he assumed a professorship of piano at the Royal Consevatory in Brussels, but the progress of tuberculosis curtailed his public performances after 1883 (https://culture.pl/en/artist/juliusz-zarebski), before his death in Ukraine, in 1885, at the age of 31.

His performances in Rome, Naples, Constantinople, Warsaw, Paris, London and other European cities were a great success.

Two years before his death he had to put an end to his career as a virtuoso as he was diagnosed with tuberculosis, throwing himself into teaching (he had been appointed professor at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels in 1880) and composing pieces such as the five movements of Les roses et les épines based on a more advanced harmony.
