That's exactly my puzzlement. Read below...I don’t think the song and the manifestation can be the same thing. If that were the case, every recording or performance of a particular song would be a new song
"a melody, chord progression, etc., i.e. something rather abstract" isn't this "perception" of such musical elements? Somethings "abstract" you elaborate within your mind? (patterns? mental think object? not sure how I would identify somethings abstract within my mind).Normally (or at least, in terms of copyright law) a distinction is drawn between a “song” (a melody, chord progression, etc., i.e. something rather abstract) and a specific recording of it (which is what you’re referring to I believe).
But what about elements that are totally related to "sound"?
Timbre is not somethings "abstract" I think, its an aspect of sound you perceive and elaborate DUE to the sound you got.
So the puzzlement:
a. we consider timbre part of a song (at least, instrumental one)
b. timbre is related to sound
c. sound changes on every new playback/manifestation
Thus:
d. c imply that TIMBRE change as well on every new playback/manifestation
e. d imply that song change as well (since timbre is a part of it) on every new playback/manifestation
