A musical work is an original musical composition created by one or more composers, which includes the musical sheet that describes the melody, harmony, rhythm, and other musical elements that make up the song. A musical work is generally protected by copyright and may be performed and recorded by different artists over time..
In other hand, music recording is the process of capturing the performance of a musical work on a physical or digital device. A recording can include the performance of a single person, such as a soloist, or a group of musicians, such as a band or orchestra. Recordings can be made in a recording studio or at a live performance. The fundamental difference between a musical work and a musical recording is that the first relates to the original composition, while the second is a physical or digital representation of the interpretation of that composition. In other words, the musical work is the original 'recipe' of the music, while the musical recording is the 'version' that is captured at a given moment by one or more musicians.
