Pavel Vranický, later Germanized as Paul Wranitzky was a Moravian classical composer. Composer of classicist era (December 30, 1756, Nová Říše - September 29, 1808, Vienna). Older brother of composer Antonín Vranický. Like so many other artists of that period, he moved to Vienna to seek out opportunities within the Austrian imperial capital. He played a prominent role in the musical life of Vienna; from 1790, he served as conductor of both royal theater orchestras. He was on friendly terms with and highly respected by Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven; the latter two preferred him as the conductor of their new works. Vranický was a prolific composer. His output comprises ten operas, fifty-one symphonies, at least 56 string quartets and a large amount of other orchestral and chamber music. Also written as Paul Wranitzky.
