Sure, then show it to the audience that Fletcher secretly stole the sheet music. It was just weird and inconclusive that the sheet music just disappeared.

Look BWOOD, i'm in agreement with you but the blood and and extent of the car crash just made it seem totally unreal. There were other ways to make Andy physically unable to play. I don't mind the car crash it really shocked me and added tension but if that happens in the real world no-one is getting out of the car and somehow getting on stage.

In such a hyper-realistic film it was a mis-step.
