This question cannot be answered with a yes or a no. In France today, Napoleon is still regarded as a great man because of the victories he gave to France. Elsewhere, he is generally regarded as a butcher, a monster, and a dictator.
He was a charismatic leader and a competent military leader, competent at logistics, competent at planning but greatness failed him. I would say that he was great - he certainly outreached competent.
Yes, he made all of his people equal, renewed France, and restored the Catholic Church.
He had a great deal of domestic success, but warfare was very expensive and it took away from the economy of France much of the domestic progress.
He had numerous enemies and the threat of assassination was always present, but he was liked and respected by the average French citizen.

Napoleon did codify French law, and the resulting body of law known as the Code Napoleon is still fundamental to French law, to this day. So in that sense yes, Napoleon was the great codifier.
Beethoven's Symphony No. 3 (which is what I assume you're referring to) was intended to be dedicated to Napoleon Bonaparte (and was originally scheduled to be called "Bonaparte"), but the composer became disgusted when Napoleon declared himself Emperor of the French. (The fact that his patrons wouldn't have been terribly happy about it may have had some impact as well.)Nevertheless, it's clear from Beethoven's letters that he had originally written it in honor of Napoleon, and still regarded it that way at the time of Napoleon's death even though he had retitled it and given it an ambiguous dedication.The fact that it was dedicated to the memory of a great man might refer to Beethoven's attempt to dedicate it to Napoleon, the Hero of the Common People (whom Beethoven admired) as distinct from Napoleon I, Emperor of France (which made Beethoven think that Napoleon was just another tyrant).
