I can think of examples on both sides.

If you were playing an instrument, improvising over a jazz standard, playing it would not be infringing. Transcribing it with chords would not be infringing. Transcribing it with complete notation of the existing work would be infringing. Distributing a recording would require a mechanical license for the underlying work.

Ultimately, the copyright holder decides what is and what isn't worth suing over.

Is infringing copyright a criminal or civil offence Can a person claim ignorence of the fact on copyright Is the publisher equally at fault or just the author Is an award due to the copyright owner?

Copyright infringement is primarily a civil offense however there are options to prosecute criminally in the case of "willful and deliberate" acts of infringement. Ignorance of the existence of copyright is not a viable defense to infringement. If an author is convicted of copyright infringement the publisher can be held liable for contributory infringement if it can be shown that they had knowledge of the infringement prior to publication. If, by a preponderance of the evidence, infringement can be shown then yes a damages award to the copyright holder can be granted.
