[@akiwinerd4437]

0:56 is the golden moment

[@trainliker100]

That's the best arrangement for piano I've heard. I believe it is very true to the spirit of the piece. And I especially liked the clarity of the descending broken cords in bars 60 and 69. In so many arrangements the music is so cluttered you can scarcely hear those notes which are really a special part of the sound of the piece. In fact, in bar 60 there is no accompaniment at all to distract from those notes ringing out.

[@Romi-wr5bv]

Finally someone does the crosshands

[@FreakieFan]

If someone doesn't do the crosshands, it is not a good performance. Fact! Haha (I can play this song as well, and I would never do it without the crosshands)

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landside, No escape from reality Open your eyes, Look up to the skies and see, I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy, Because I'm easy come, easy go, Little high, little low, Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to Me, to me Mamaaa, Just killed a man, Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, Now he's dead Mamaaa, life had just begun, But now I've gone and thrown it all away Mama, oooh, Didn't mean to make you cry, If I'm not back again this time tomorrow, Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters Too late, my time has come, Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all The time Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go, Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth Mama, oooh I don't want to die, I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all. I see a little silhouetto of a man, Scaramouch, Scaramouch, will you do the Fandango! Thunderbolts and lightning, very, very frightening me Galileo, Galileo Galileo, Galileo Galileo, Figaro - magnificoo I'm just a poor boy nobody loves me He's just a poor boy from a poor family, Spare him his life from this monstrosity Easy come, easy go, will you let me go Bismillah! No, we will not let you go (Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go (Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go (Let me go) Will not let you go (Let me go)(Never) Never let you go (Let me go) (Never) let you go (Let me go) Ah No, no, no, no, no, no, no Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia, let me go Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, For meee So you think you can stop me and spit in my eye So you think you can love me and leave me to die Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby, Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here Nothing really matters, Anyone can see, Nothing really matters, Nothing really matters to me Any way the wind blows...

i really appreciate that you did an accurate version and not an improvised one. i love hearing people use their own creative genius to do a beautiful cover, but im glad you stayed true to how the song was actually written, and you’re literally the ONLY cover ive seen that does the hand cross which i so appreciate because it adds so much flare to the song. every cover i’ve seen everyone just ignores the hand cross, but it’s too iconic not to leave out so i very much appreciate that small gesture. you’re amazing !!

Listened to this and thought, this is very very good, but not accurate. Then I listened again, and realized this is very very good and accurate. It represents the song as a whole, not just the piano section. Very cool 👌

[@kevinzhang3313]

Of course it wont do that! The melody will be incomplete without other instruments and singing so this is an ARRANGEMENT of the song as a whole. You'll find those easily on other sites or videos.

[@shadkng]

What a fantastic rendition. Thanks for providing the sheet music. I am an intermediate piano player and this song really challenged me and made me better. I have been working on it for months and finally got through it...covid lockdown helped! I couldn't have done it without the video as I couldn't get the timing down in certain spots. I still need to polish it and play it more smoothly. Thanks again.

Mind blowing! No fussy drawing room piece complete with evening gown this time. The fact that it's an all time iconic classic rock piece has been firmly kept in mind. No fancy unnecessary trills and ornaments here and there this time. Thank God!

[@trainliker100]

Always nice to see a Steinway. My mother was a professional concert pianist and that was her preference. She said they by far had the best action. An excellent book on pianos is "The Wonders of the Piano: The Anatomy of the Instrument" by the late Catherine Bielefeldt. It has a lot of piano history an mainly how they are constructed. Cathy was the first female manager at Steinway Hall in New York, one of my mother's best friends, and even baby sat me long, long, long ago.

Man, I gotta tell you. This version is the best one I've heard so far.

[@mirmarq429]

THISISAWESOME!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, as a violin player I look at your right hand playing the Brian May riff ( after Verse 2) and i think, okay, i can do that because of practice and stuff. But i see both hands doing completely different renditions of their vocal harmony on 'SSUNDABOLT AND LIGHTNING VERYVERY FRIGHTNING ME' and it boggles my mind how you can think about getting both parts exactly right. How hard it must have been for Freddie, who had to sing a part that was completely different from what each hand was doing! yeah. If i were rich, i would give you money just for making this effort.

You know why? Many pianists ( or any other performers) tend to just demonstrate their technical skills. ( in playing their instruments or when singers sings) whoch is nice. But many tends to loose the heart of the song. The message. And thats the most important aspect of the performance. Its that EMOTIONAL CONTENT, thats what makes it a TRUE ART. when your work breaks through and reached your expectators in the emotional level. Thats Art.

Ok, so i get that SOME people are not fans of all of these various piano renditions of Queen’s music when most of them are including the VOCAL melodies right along with the piano as well as guitar parts, all wrapped up into one piece of music. That’s fine, but didn’t Freddie himself say he didn’t care what others did with his music, so long as they didn’t make it boring? From the many examples I’ve seen here on YT, no one has been guilty of making it boring. That being said, it seems to me that using ONE instrument, but essentially playing THREE at once is no small task, especially with a band like Queen…and anyone who has the courage-and the talent-to do it deserves a bit more respect.👏👏👏👏
