A musical work is an original musical composition created by one or several composers, which includes the musical score (sheet music) that describes the melody, harmony, rhythm, and other musical elements that make up the song. A musical work is usually copyrighted and can be performed and recorded by different artists over time.
Recording music, on the other hand, is the process of capturing the performance of a musical work on a physical or digital medium. A recording can include the performance of a single person - such as a soloist - or of a group of musicians - such as a band or orchestra. Recordings can be made in a recording studio or at a live performance. The key difference between a musical work and a musical recording is that the former refers to the original composition, while the latter is a physical or digital representation of the interpretation of that composition. In other words, the musical work is the original "recipe" of a song, while the musical recording is a "version" that is captured at a given moment by one or more musicians.

Every work must have an international code called ISWC. Likewise, every recording must have an international ISRC code. These codes include data about the authors, their publishers, and collective copyright associations, so that for every use - be it public or private - the copyright holders can be identified and entitled to royalties.
