I should expand on that, I guess. 6.28.1.5 indicates, among other things, that a performance of a musical work "involving substantial creative responsibility for adaptation, improvisation, etc., on the part of the performer or performers" counts as an adaptation, and the authorized access point is constructed from the title plus the performer, rather than the original author of the music.
So if the performer is considered to have adapted each of the works on the collective work, then he is the creator of each of them, and is also the creator of the collective work. If, on the other hand, the performer did not really adapt the works, then the performer is not the creator of the collective work.
