If you have ever wanted to follow along with a score while listening to a GG recording, or perhaps learn the piece yourself, you are in luck -- many of these pieces are in the public domain and have been uploaded to various free sheet music sites such as Mutopia, Free-scores.com, and the International Music Score Library Project (IMSLP). This page endeavors to collect all the available online scores for works which Glenn Gould has recorded, and is organized by original album (all of which are available in the excellent Glenn Gould Original Jacket Collection box set). Where there are multiple scores available, I have tried to link to the best quality score (both in legibility and in accuracy) available; I generally prefer the mutopia project, since lilypond generated pdfs tend to be more readable than scanned pdfs. If I have neglected to add a piece that is available online, or if you know of a better source for one that I have included, please e-mail me at ejwillia at uchicago dot edu and I will update the page appropriately.
This
page is currently a work in progress, and I have thus far only added
links for the first 16 albums. It will be completed soon.
