Damien Riehl and Noah Rubin have all the melodies on a hard drive. (More info in this Adam Neely video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfXn_ecH5Rw and the TED talk linked in a nearby comment.) So depending on a court's kinda arbitrary definition of creativity on any given day, all of them may or may not be copyrighted already.
An infringement being accidental also doesn't seem to stop copyright holders from successfully suing people. I think this means you could technically be successfully sued for dropping some bricks on a piano, since no matter where they land, the action constitutes a public performance of a copyrighted work. Fun stuff.
