After working for some time in a financial office in Lucerne, he devoted himself entirely to music from 1810 and first studied it in Zurich. In December 1811 he came to Vienna and found another teacher in the Kapellmeister Johann Christoph Kienlen (1783–1829). Originally he wanted to be a student of Ludwig van Beethoven, who, however, did not give any lessons at the time - with the exception of Archduke Rudolph of Austria. Schnyder has nevertheless met Beethoven several times and has left extensive memories of the composer, in which he describes the contradictory, very changeable nature of the composer unadorned. Schnyder spent part of the summer of 1812 in Baden near Vienna, where he lost all of his possessions including numerous manuscripts in the severe fire that destroyed parts of the city on July 26th.

After participating in the campaign against the French in 1815, he got a job at Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi's educational institution in Yverdon, but moved to Frankfurt am Main in 1817 and lived and worked there with short interruptions until his death.

Schnyder founded the "Schnyder von Wartensee Foundation" in 1847 to promote artistic and scientific work, which is now managed by the Zurich Central Library.

Of his compositions, which are distinguished by their richness of melody, clarity and correctness, the opera Fortunat, the oratorio Zeit und Ewigkeit and numerous cantatas and songs of cheerful and serious content, e.g. B. Settings by Johann Martin Miller, Ludwig Uhland or Johann Nikolaus Götz. After his death, his poems (Leipzig 1869) and memoirs (Zurich 1888) appeared.
