Trying to recall the title of a novel. Probably from the 80s (maybe as early as 70s) English USA Paperback.

Pretty sure the cover had a piano keyboard wrapped around a person so he could easily play it.(like 360, or maybe in infinity shape) Not straight, it was curved.

Similar to this:

The MC gets ahold of a time machine. Not sure if he: Invented it, inherited it, stole it, or found it.

I think he installed it in his van.

Main plot point. He went back in time and rescued a dying classical musician. Not Bach or Beethoven, but someone a little less well known. (Shubert or Liszt or someone like that) He was dying of an STD and only had a few days(?) to live, before the MC 'rescued' him, brought him back to the future and cured it. Then gave him modern instruments/equipment and let him compose. The MC might have then passed the composers new work off as his own.

[Vague recollections of a title something like "The xxxxxxx Time Machine" but my GoogleFoo is poor and I am not finding anything.]
