Julius von Beliczay was born on the 10th of August, 1835 in Komarom, Komarom-Esztegrom, Hungary.
Beliczay studied music and music theory with Joseph Kumlik in Pozsony (Bratislava). From 1851 to 1857 he was a student at the Technische Hochschule in Vienna, and at the same time studying composition with Joachim Hoffmann, Franz Krenn and Nottebohm and the piano with August Halm.
From 1857 to 1871 Julius von Beliczay lived in Vienna, where he worked as an engineer, composed and taught music. In the 1850s his piano pieces and sacred compositions began to be published in Vienna, Leipzig and Paris; their dedications bear witness to Beliczay’s extensive connections with important figures in the contemporary musical world, including Anton Rubinstein, Liszt, Wagner and A. F. Marmontel.
From 1862 to 1888 he was a correspondent for the magazines Zenészeti lapok (Pest), Wanderer (Vienna), Blätter für Theater und Kunst (Vienna), Neue Zeitschrift für Musik (Leipzig), and Neues politisches Volksblatt (Budapest). From 1888 until his death he taught theory at the Academy of Music in Budapest.
