Sounds like the Looney Tunes with Bugs as the concert pianist doing “The Hungarian Rhapsody” and the mouse interfering, including the classic boogie-woogie interlude.

In his day, Victor Borge was a great piano comedian. After writing this, I had to watch him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfKqzN5MZYU&index=3&list=PL0786C55F8B686C5Fwas cute!

Never underestimate the power of a well-made cartoon to instill a love of good music. While the plagiarism controversy between WB and MGM was never settled, both are excellent shorts. Though personally I enjoy Bugs’ performance/ordeal just a bit more than Tom’s.
