Reference excerpt

Igor Krivokapič (born 10 November 1965 in Ljubljana) is a Slovenian composer, retired tubist and instrument inventor.

Life and work Igor Krivokapič first studied tuba at the Academy of Music in Ljubljana. He then continued his studies at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston under Toby Hanks (tuba), Caleb Morgan (electronic composition), Bob Ceely (classical composition) and Malcolm Peyton (orchestration). After his studies Igor Krivokapič was first appointed solo tubist at the RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra from 1985 to 1995. He was forced to quit tuba playing due to consequences of a car accident in 1995. He then worked as an editor for classical music at the Slovenian Radio from 1996 to 1999. From 1999 to 2009 he was a free lance composer. Since 2009 Igor Krivokapič is professor for tuba and chamber music at the Conservatory for Music and Ballet in Ljubljana and also teaches partly at the Academy of Music in the same city. In the early 2000s Igor Krivokapič invented a new family of instruments based on the tuba which consists of 6 instruments of different sizes. They are called the New Helicons and first examples were produced by the German instrument manufacturer Meinl-Weston. Performances with these New Helicons were given at meetings of the International Tuba Euphonium Association in 2004 (Budapest), 2008 (Cincinnati) and 2014 (Bloomington). Professional performances have been also given at several music festivals in Europe and North America. As a composer Igor Krivokapič was delegate at the UNESCO International Rostrum of Composers in 1996 and 1997. And he was awarded twice for his compositions at the Concorso Internazionale per Giovani Strumentisti in Povoletto (Italy) in 2000 and 2001. The compositions by Igor Krivokapič are published through Edicije DSS, Sloway music editions, Edition Reift, Edizioni Musicali Wicky, HoneyRock Publishing, Saxtet Publications and ITEA Publications.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Igor Krivokapič

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Igor Krivokapič claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Igor Krivokapič before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Igor Krivokapič ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Igor Krivokapič

In research: Igor Krivokapič appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Igor Krivokapič in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Igor Krivokapič is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1965 births, 20th-century Slovenian classical composers, 20th-century male musicians, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Igor Krivokapič outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
