One of the hardest things I've had to explain (actually try to explain) is that when I play piano (especially my own compositions) - I hear orchestrations like these in my head. Finally technology has been created where I don't have to belong to an orchestra or be fabulously rich and rent one to play what I hear in my head (so that others can hear it too).
This page gives you examples of what happens when you give a simple two-part piano piece to other instruments. If you listen to these in order, the final electronic version will be easy to follow melodically (and is also a quite beautiful surprise).
