I have always studied my parts with the orchestral score and not with the piano reduction.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I currently spend a lot of time thinking about orchestration and every detail of a piece.
It's like a whole orchestra, the piano for me.
I'm sorry to say that no, I do not play the piano.
I'm one of those pianists who tends to ignore every existing recording and lots of traditions about playing pieces when I start.
I've learned a lot from the masters of orchestration, like Ravel and Stravinsky.
And I definitely have an affinity with the piano.
I don't play any instruments, but I do read a lot.
I play piano very badly. That's my great regret.
I'm not really a pianist.
To me, the piano in itself is an orchestra.
