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
