### 5/5 — 买碟不看谱，等于二百五

*2012-08-07*

标题引自某音响论坛。以前听音乐不看谱，只觉得好听，无法领会作品的精妙之处。有了这个同步乐谱，终于理解了哥德堡变奏曲精致的结构。感谢作者提供这么好的软件！

### 5/5 — 不错

*2012-05-30*

很特别的版本。同时放乐谱，对于学习很有帮助

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2012-03-25*

Watching the notes on my iPad or AirView on my HD television makes this a spectacular app. I'm glad there are many scores available.

### 5/5 — 좋네요

*2012-02-09*

골든베르크를 좋아해서 구입한건데 악보 같이 보는 기능도 마음에 들고 쉴때나 머리 비우고 싶을때 들으니 좋네요

### 5/5 — Great app

*2012-02-01*

Great app, worth it

### 5/5 — Gould is Gold

*2011-12-27*

Glenn Gould is the premier performer to listen to playing the Goldberg Variations. What a great masterpiece to offer. I love being able to follow along with the provided sheet music and Gould's interpretation. All serious pianists and music enthusiasts would enjoy it immensely.

### 5/5 — Very cool

*2011-12-16*

I love these apps and I plan to buy them all.

 It's a personal pass time of mine to listen music looking at the score and this makes it sooo much easier!

Please keep making these apps! 

How about orchestral pieces?

If u like music and want to follow it with the score, buy this. There is not an easier way.

### 1/5 — .

*2017-08-29*

.

**Developer response:** Glenn Gould recorded The Goldberg Variations twice, 1955 and 1981. SyncScore uses 1955 version. Some people prefer this young and energetic interpretation. I hope you to find its beauty too.

### 1/5 — 著作権はクリアしているのか？

*2012-04-18*

演奏につれ、楽譜が表示され音楽が「可視化」される。
つくりは良いのだが、問題は演奏がオリジナルではなくグールドの1955年版であること。
権利関係をクリアしているのか、不安が拭えない。

### 3/5 — Chef

*2012-08-05*

Toujours une superbe interprétation de ce chef- d'oeuvre! Du grand Gould!

### 3/5 — The best of glen Gould

*2012-05-01*

I would have preferred this to be the album, "the best of Glen Gould"

### 4/5 — Amazing, BUT...

*2013-07-23*

I love this app, but you need to be able to export the sheet music to PDF's so you can print them.

**Developer response:** There’s a way to export sheet music as PDF. Tap sheet music button (right most button) > tap print > pinch to zoom sheet music preview, then you can see PDF view of the sheet music. From there, you can export it by tapping share button.

### 4/5 — Ein empfehlenswertes Programm

*2012-10-06*

Es ist schön, beim Hören die Noten mitlesen zu können. Ich höre mir so die Goldberg-Variationen sehr gern an.

### 4/5 — Beautiful app

*2012-07-16*

But the sound doesn't sync with the score

### 4/5 — Not quite perfect

*2012-04-04*

Brilliant idea and stellar performance by G.G. 
I wish there was more analysis of this piece, perhaps with web links for additional information on the piece.
Lastly, there is a delay in the score/music sync for most of the variations. This could be corrected with future updates.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2023-10-15*

Mr. Trombone critique below: I would love to hear you play any passage in the Goldberg on your trombone, with great this amount of musicality and execution.

This is the genius of Gould, and the edit, is clean and only the piano “wink.”

Sync Score also continues play in the background as you change apps.  Great Composers, performers and recordings.

### 5/5 — This is great,and I only hope that

*2019-05-17*

You will make a vision of 1981 Goldberg Variations.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2017-09-06*

What a brilliant idea! Thank you. Mariann

### 5/5 — Excellent !

*2013-06-10, version 4.1.5*

Brilliant !

### 5/5 — 최고의 어플입니다.

*2013-05-30*

언제 어디서나 굴드를 만날 수 있어 너무 좋습니다. 진인웍스위 다양한 클래식시리즈 늘 기대됩니다. 정말 굴드를 이렇게 만날 수 있다는 건 행운입니다.

### 5/5 — 非常好

*2013-05-19*

几乎每天听。有音频和曲谱〜

### 5/5 — 죄송해요

*2013-02-16*

악보집인 줄 알았어요.
이거 앨범도 있는데 ㅜ 구입취소 안되나요^^

### 5/5 — Wonderful application

*2012-12-27, version 4.1.2*

If you enjoy classical music, then this may well be the application to get. The ability to listen to the music and follow the score at the same time while the score scrolls is helpful to the seasoned musician as well as the beginner.

I hope that the publishers will keep adding many more recordings with the sheet music.

### 5/5 — Great

*2012-12-25*

Glen Gould is incredible. Great app, easy to use, stable. Good quality recordings.

### 5/5 — C'est exactement ce que je cherchais!

*2012-11-03*

Génial, pour tous les mélomanes et amateurs avertis
