I remember a novel in which a young man who hated music was sent back into
time to become Ludwig Von Beethoven... actually living his entire adult life.
The premise was that history had to be created in the future, which was pretty
weak but barely plausible, although never followed up (it was mentioned once
at the beginning of the story, nowhere else).
