This is my fourth and definitive version of Bohemian Rhapsody piano track. It’s an older video that was recorded right after the 3th Bo Rhap (final version). I’m uploading this video because this is the version where I did the most time consuming analysis and therefore I believe that this is by far the most complete version I ever did.
The definitive version reflects even the smallest details that are hard to notice in the original backing track, like “unbalanced” chords, hardly touched notes that are almost inaudible without using special software and “missed” notes in specific chords or bass. I went so far that I even intentionally played few “mistakes” that I discovered in the original piano track - there are few places in the backing track where Freddie (aware or unaware) slightly touches adjacent (non-harmonic) notes that are difficult to notice but they are there. The most noticeable “mistake” can be heard during the “octave piano run” before the outro. This was difficult to recreate because I had to hit the wrong note with exactly the right force. If you hit it too hard then it sounds terrible dissonant and if you hit it too gently you won’t even hear it. I had to record it many times until I got it right, that’s why I used “thought bubble” in this video as a sign of relief: finally getting it right after many, many attempts.
Here you can watch the documentary about Bohemian Rhapsody piano track (Inside The Rhapsody) where Dr. Brian May is talking about different sections of the piano track:

I recorded two separate videos and put them together in video editor. The first part (from beginning till “very, very frightening me”) was recorded before my father’s death and the second part (from “Galileo Figaro” till the end) was recorded after my father’s death because the second part was made about 14 days later. So, at “very, very frightening me” he’s alive and the next moment at “Galileo Figaro” he’s already gone. For this reason has this video completely by coincidence made very weird effect on me: it symbolises TRANSIENCE. Now you are here and the next moment you’re gone. Enyoj every moment of your life.
DISCLAIMER: I don’t own anything. I am not the author of the song, it was written by Freddie Mercury. I have absolutely no economic/financial benefits from putting this video on KZfaq. The only purpose of the video is to share it with people who appreciate Freddie's work of art.
