A musician oft rehearsed
Together with his part reversed
But he was not himself as such
A single word - two's much too much
Answer
The single word may be:
Bachelor
A musician oft rehearsed
Bach - a very popular composer
Inspiration from Jonathan Allan
Together with his part reversed
His part is his 'role' & reversed is 'elor', which 'together with' 'Bach' makes 'Bachelor''
From OP - Bach composed pieces (e.g. J. S. Bach's The Musical Offering) in crab canon and can rehearsed with the parts reversed, as they are often the same. This in essence is a hint to reach Bach within the puzzle itself.
But he was not himself as such
Edit from OP's improvement
Bach was not a bachelor!
Original - Concatenating above gives bachelor
A single word - two's much too much
A bachelor is a single man ('single word' can be a 'word for single'). JS Bach was married twice, two wives being much too much to be a bachelor. Also 'two' (as in a twosome) is the antithesis of bachelordom.
