    No but I can see how might fit.

    A clue is that the composer originally dedicated the work to the man in the picture (not the most recognizable picture of him).

    It is not from a film score. A further clue is that the composer has already been mentioned in this thread.

    Well done. Yes the Eroica symphony. Initially dedicated to Napoleon but struck out from the manuscript when he crowned himself emperor.

    The Merrie Melodie played by Bugs Bunny was, of course, (an approximation to) the Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 by Franz Listz.
