But if "A is a performance of Z" means that Z is a work, doesn't "F is a
performance of C" mean that C could also be a work? As some of our
music-enabled colleagues replied, by some definitions, an arrangement is
a separate work. Could C be simultaneously an expression and a work?
I don't know the answers, but I think we need to explore this further
before we declare that we have four possible boxes (WEMI) and that
everything fits neatly into one or the other. That's why I think it is
more important to state that C is an arrangement of Z than to say what
box it fits into. It can remain an arrangement of Z and find itself in
different boxes based on different contexts or functions.
