I believe (C) may protect the audio recording in someway, also...some sort
of standard overall protection of a musical work. I'm not sure...
But, to (P) something, you have to send in the work on an audio-recording
medium (cassette) to the copyright office (Library of Congress here in the
US,
I believe).

I don't know..., but it seems more logical to ME that it would be reversed:
(P) (Published?) would cover the writer(s), and (C) would cover the recording
itself...
Just a thought.
