An orchestra is an ensemble of intruments, not a piece. The piano therefore can not play instruments, it plays pieces that an orchestra migh play. The piano, however, does not play and orchestral piece; it plays and arrangement of the piece. Some famous orchestral pieces that have been arrange for piano are "O Fortuna" from Carmina Burana by Carl Orff and "Requiem for a Dream".

Generally, the formation of orchestras in each of four periods can be summarized :Baroque orchestras had from 10 to 30 players, primarily strings.Classical orchestras used 30 to 60 players in four sections: strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion.Romantic orchestras had as many as 100 players or more, and featured greater use of brass and piano.Modern orchestras are a bit smaller than in the Romantic Era (symphony and other very large orchestras still exist).
