Can you help identify this European military uniform?

It is a Russian uniform.

The cap itself and the oval cap badge give it away:

A Prussian hat would have two round c**kades.

His shoulder decoration further implies that he was a musician:

Unfortunately, the peaked cap was in service in that basic style for quite a long time, and certainly as early as the Crimean War:

Alexander II in cap (unknown artist, c. 1865)

Russia is the first country to adopt the peaked cap.

But the fine facial hair style might indicate (to my personal opinion at least) a much later date. My guess would be 1900–1910, 1880 the earliest. Minimally supported by comparing the colour plates in — Boris Mollo & John Mollo: "Uniforms of the Imperial Russian Army", Blandford Colour Series, Blandford Press: Poole, 1979.
