Correct answer: Miserere by Gregorio Allegri

During a visit to Rome, a teenage Mozart heard Gregorio Allegri's Miserere performed in the Sistine Chapel. The Vatican strictly forbade copying the sheet music, but Mozart wrote the entire complex piece down from memory after a single hearing, earning him a papal knighthood instead of punishment.
