Okay: what if you BUY the music and memorize it. Then you die in an
accident and your brain is transplanted into someone who was brain-dead, but
otherwise alright! And what if this brain-recipient now SUDDENLY knows how
to play the clarinet (even though his doctor had told him he'd never be able
to play the piano again!) and he performs the music you'd memorized without
owning it or even having seen or heard the piece before?!!!!

On second thought, forget the answer: I'm going to start work on the
screenplay!
