Juliusz Zarebski
Juliusz Zarębski (born February 28, 1854 in Zhytomyr , Russian Empire , † November 15, 1885 ibid) was a Polish composer and pianist.
Life
Zarębski received first piano lessons from his mother, then from other teachers in Zhytomyr. From 1870 to 1872 he studied at the Conservatory of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna with Josef Dachs (piano) and Franz Krenn (composition). The following year he passed the diploma examination in Saint Petersburg in just three months . In 1874 he became a pupil of Franz Liszt, first in Rome , and then followed him to Weimar . In 1879 he married the German pianist Johanna Wenzel (later Polish Janina Zarębska, † 1928), also a student of Liszt. In 1880 he received a professorship at the Brussels Conservatory . In 1885 he died of tuberculosis in his hometown .
Zarębski has given concerts as a pianist, also together with his wife, in many European countries. In 1878 he appeared at the Paris World Exhibition with a two-manual piano developed by the Mangeot brothers .
plant
Zarębski's catalog of works, which is relatively narrow due to his early death, includes piano works as well as some song settings and chamber music. Standing in the tradition of Chopin and Liszt, he developed harmonics that pointed to Impressionism . After decades of oblivion, at least his last composition, the Piano Quintet in G minor, Op. 34 (1885), dedicated to Franz Liszt , occasionally appears again in concert programs. In 2013 the British pianist Jonathan Plowright recorded the work again with the Szymanowski Quartet .
