He is an author of a TV series dedicated to Croatian piano music, editor of many Croatian composers' works, and author of specialized articles in national and international music magazines. He recorded numerous solo and chamber music works for radio and television as well as 20 LPs and 15 CDs for different labels. As a chamber musician, he is active as a member of Trio Orlando and forms a piano duo with his daughter Katarina Krpan. He is the founder of the Croatian section of the European Piano Teachers Association (EPTA) and its two international competitions in Osijek and Zagreb (EPTA - International Piano Competition Svetislav Stančić).

Parallels occur when two planets are at the same declination, both in the north or south. They are considered to have the same effect as conjunctions. Contraparallels are when one star in the north and another in the south are at the same declination. They are considered to have the same effect as oppositions.
