Can exclusive rights to a musical work be limited to a time frame?

Answer:
Absolutely. This is common when a symphony commissions a work: the contract will specify that they have the exclusive right to perform and/or record it for a certain amount of time, often 2-3 years, after which the composer can sell or rent it to other orchestras.
