This is a problem for pianists that have to play a lot of new repertory in different concerts! Playing from memory is a relatively new phenomenon, starting around Liszt's time. Before that, if you played another composer's music from memory, it was considered rude, since you were thought to be making up the music on the spot and claiming it as your own.

It is amazing how traditions and views change over time. My piano channel on YouTube: Link
