His opera, Oberon - the fairy king from 1789 was a favorite in this genre and inspired Schikaneder to write The Magic Flute; in the mid-1790s, Goethe sought to collaborate with Vranický on a sequel to the Mozart opera.

Like Haydn, Vranický’s quartet writing went through many stages of development beginning with the pre-classical and evolving to the finished sonata form of the late Vienna Classics.
