Brief musical composition entertaining Albania's president? (6)

I believe the answer is:

ronald

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'brief musical composition' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'entertaining albania's president?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'albania' could be 'al' and 'al' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
