Indiana University has done some work applying FRBR principles to music, and we definitely ran up against problems using Expression to define both the arrangement and the performance. It may be that to model the performing arts we'd really need yet another entity. But we wanted to see how we'd do it using FRBR as it was, so we for the most part defined arrangements as new Expressions (not new Works), and assumed Expression/Expression relationships could handle connecting different performances of the same arrangement together. More information (*much* more information) on our thoughts is available from this report: <http://www.dlib.indiana.edu/projects/variations3/docs/v3FRBRreport.pdf>
