In music I would like to offer a hand that people will accept,' said Ránki expressing his artistic beliefs.

In the course of his career he always strove to create works which audiences would understand and accept. His art drew a great deal on tradition, but distanced itself from avante-garde movements.

Ránki's style was eclectic and yet individual. He felt at home in all genres: light rock-and-roll hits, serious mystery-opera, miniature character pieces, and the symphony are all present in his output.

His multi-faceted art, humour, and his particularly grotesque musical voice made him one of the most fascinating and prominent personalities among Hungarian composers of the 20th century.
