There are only so many notes. Probability is high than any sequence of notes will be repeated.
Do you think Page had previously heard the 1600's riff and used it, or duplicated it by coincidence?

Yup. There are 12 notes in an octave. A standard piano keyboard has 88 keys, making it 7 octaves and a minor third. The 10 foot Bosendorfer has a full 8 octaves. Now, one 'could' say that a random repeat of a string of notes is possible, but, what about note duration, tempo, accentuation, loudness, etc.? Not likely to be duplicated 'accidentally'.
Alexander Borodin's "Polvetsian Dances" is a perfect example. The hit tune "Strangers in Paradise" was based directly on it. But I 'think' it's ok, because I 'think' the original was never published or copyrighted, because the original wasn't completed by Borodin. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Hey 51, thanks for the reference, I never knew about that. I learned something today.
I like any post that mentions a Bosendorfer. How many notes per octave in the scale used in Middle Eastern music I wonder
