Certainly not. If a composer mixes the two, he/she is being careless. I know composers who very specifically use "sfzp", "sfp", "sfz subito p" etc. as separate symbols.

Is the same Sfp and Sfzp?
I would say yes, except that I've never seen "sfzp" before.
As I understand it, "sfz" and "sf" are two different abbreviations for the same thing: sforzando. "Sfp" is a hybrid, combining the meaning of "sf" and "fp". Presumably "sfzp" would be the same hybrid, spelled another way.

Fair enough. I'm always happy to learn something new. If "sfzp", "sfp", and "sfz subito p" really are three different things, can someone please explain the distinction to me? If I were playing the music, I sure wouldn't know the difference.
