To be a pianist-composer-conductor, according to maestro antonio cabrero means to be always wishing you could do all three simultaneously, and of course composing and conducting your own music is fun, but you cannot be playing it at the piano at the same time, conducting from the piano on the contrary is really not fun, certainly after the baroque period, with orchestras enlarged and music becoming less and less steady and more and more complicated, ( therefore requiring constant conducting) there is only so much the orchestra and the concert master (first violin) can help you with,
At any rate a piece is either for orchestra and piano or not, it wouldn t make sense to play an orchestra piece and its piano transcription at the same time
on the other hand you couldnt be composing and expect the orchestra to wait for your next few ideas (if lucky to find any in front of everybody) and then get the parts ready and circulate them.
when confronted with this issue, maestro cabrero decided to make conducting and playing piano one same thing with this series of concerts of symphonic arrangements and transcriptions of music he conducts.
does the piano sound as an orchestra? certainly does to the maestro, and he will do his best to make you agree
