Much too easy;  "The Flight of the Bumblebee" recording that opened "The
Green Hornet" was an orchestral arrangement of a piano piece by
Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov (one guy, not: theme by Rimsky/arranged by 
Korsakov).  You got Emil von Reznicek right except for the spelling...
nuts, the theme is now playing in my head and can't get it out:
Dah-dah-dah-Dah dah-Dah-de-DAH...
