Turnaround measured against your session date, not my convenience. Tell me when the downbeat is and I work back from it.
The session is booked. The musicians are paid by the hour. And the parts on your stand will decide whether that hour is music or chaos. When you can't sit down and fix them yourself, call me.
Stefan Solyom · conductor, arranger, and the person preparing your parts
Turnaround measured against your session date, not my convenience. Tell me when the downbeat is and I work back from it.
Parts a player reads with relief, not exasperation. Clean, legible, idiomatic, with the page working for the musician instead of against them.
Score and parts that hold up under recording-session pressure, where there's no time to fix a wrong transposition or a missed cue.
In a recording session, the most expensive thing in the room is time. Bad parts spend it. Good parts protect it.
Every minute the orchestra spends deciphering a cluttered page, querying a wrong accidental, or waiting on a correction is a minute you paid for and didn't get music from. Parts that are clear and playable from the first read are not a nicety. They are the difference between getting your cues in the can and running out of clock.
I prepare parts the way a conductor reads them, because I am one. I know what a player needs to see, what they ignore, and what makes a section confident enough to nail a take on the first pass.
Roughly thirty years on the podium and at the writing desk. Former General Music Director of the Staatskapelle Weimar and Chief Conductor of the Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra, with conducting and arranging work for orchestras and opera houses across Europe and North America, including the Oregon Symphony and the Utah Symphony.
I have stood in front of orchestras and watched parts succeed and fail in real time. That is exactly the experience that goes into every page I prepare for you.
Two days out and not ready? That's the call to make now.
