hi, could anyone here help me out on a problem, that is anyone who can play the piano, on the intro of bohemian rhapsody how do you play it, i know the opening is b b b b b g, but where do all the other fingers go when playing to get the right sound, if anyone could tell me this that would be great, thanks |
| Farlander 14.02.2005 15:14 |
First of all, by "intro" do you mean the part where the piano starts to play, right before Freddie sings "Mama..."? Secondly, what is "b b b b b g" Are those supposed to be pitches or what? |
| supernova190188 14.02.2005 15:50 |
yes,that's the part. b b b b b g are the notes, well that's what i heard anyway |
| Zander05 14.02.2005 16:28 |
According to this choral arrangement I have, the intro is LEFT HAND: Bb LEFT HAND: G,F (octaves) RIGHT HAND: D,G,Bb,D Etc. So forth. Does that help? |
| supernova190188 14.02.2005 18:00 |
thanks, but does that mean you only do the left hand notes and then the right hand, also what is meant by Bb, is that both B's or just the black key. and are the octaves the black keys? cheers |

Does anyone know of any sheet music of JUST the piano accompaniment? Not an arrangement like in the Queen piano sheet music books, but the actually accompaniment? |
| Farlander 14.02.2005 22:07 |
The actualy piano part is included in the full score found in the Greatest Hits: Off the Record book, which is out of print, but available on eBay. It's really the greatest book of popular sheetmusic I've ever seen. |

If you cant play the piano at all supernova190188, you need a piano teach yourself book to learn the basic chhords. For none piano players, BoRhap is a lot harder to play than it initially looks. You can get loads of BoRhap sheet music online if you just type it into your search engine. Well not really sheet music but the chords alongside the lyrics. |

| binners 21.02.2005 04:33 |
you will fing that at the beging i think the chords have got diminished or rased upper notes. not sure though. where can you get the sheet music from and can you get it orcestrated for a band or is it just on two clefs. |

There are 5 books in this series: Greatest Hits Greatest Hits II Classic Queen Queen Innunendo They are excellent books, and because they are not in print anymore, I suggest you try to aquire them as soon as you can if you are interested. |

In the left hand, an octave of Bb. In the right hand F, Bb, D . Play simultaneously, and then "bling bling" which is G to F one and a half octaves above middle C. Voila! |
| Zander05 21.02.2005 21:26 |
Mr Bad Gut, Thanks for the correction :-) *bows* |

link Here are some Bohemian Rhapsody sheet music for piano. But the intro isn't there :( It starts with "Is this the real life?" |
| _amadeus_ 13.04.2005 19:57 |
I can play this, Another One Bites the Dust, and We Will Rock you on the piano :D I really can't give you all the notes for Bohemian Rhapsody, but what I can do is suggest a program called 'Limewire'. Search it on Google/Yahoo for Bohemian Rhapsody, and simply print off the music :D |
| RainMustFall2 13.04.2005 21:24 |
Or get Powertab, from powertabs.net. Highly suggested, though it's more for guitar players. You still can get the staffed notes, though. |

YAY someone who is playing bo rhap. Anyway sorry i don't have time to answer you now, but i'll get back to u ASAP. lol i have like about 100 different scores of it which i have been and still am dissecting trying to get it just right. its really a delight to play, especially the little "cross-over" sections after the intro lol! |
| ~-:Moet et Chandon:-~ 14.04.2005 16:09 |
OK well i've got a minute so here's the first few bars of the most accurate score i have found. It's basically the piano you hear on the final cut, tho if u mean the *actual* piano backing track intro that u hear in the studio version with brian may, then that's not on this score, i'll have to consult another one and get back to you. the score above ^^ tho, the one with the link, i think that intro looks more or less like the right chords? anyway i hope this helps! link |
| _amadeus_ 14.04.2005 17:01 |
D - D - B Flat - C - D - D Is, 'Mama Just Killed A Man' :D |
| ~-:Moet et Chandon:-~ 15.04.2005 11:50 |
Supernova, with regards to that above segment of the score I posted: I'm still not sure what you mean by intro, *but* i took a listen to the GVH1 dvd 2 where u can hear the piano backing track, and this is what the intro is (assuming hte starting key is Bb major...if not, just transpose it). Also I'm not too sure what your knowledge of chords etc. is so I'm just going to give u all the notes. U can adapt it a bit or whatever, but this is basically what I heard: LH..................RH G octave............D+G+B x 4 (hold)................D --> G+B+D* --> D F# octave...........F#+A X 2 --> D* --> A E octave............E+G X 3 --> B --> G --> E D octave............A+D+F# --> G --> A --> D' (* this D is in the next octave up) (' this D is lower) immediately after that last D, it runs straight into the segment of the score i posted above (i.e. the lower B 8ve and B,D,F# on right hand) Basically the above set of chords is that first little bit which is played *verY* softly (u cant even hear it in the final cut, all u hear is "is this the real life...etc.) Anyway I hope this is what you wanted, if you need anything else give me a shout! and good luck with bo rhap! |
| luko 15.04.2005 14:27 |
i have the proper bo rhap music from the we will rock you musical book. its exactly the same as the ce but u have to change the first guitar solo |

Bohemian Rhapsody is not a piece for beginners. For a start, the Key Signature is Bb (B flat - 2 flats), it then changes to A for the opera section and then to Eb later in the Opera Section. There are also time signature changes from 4:4 time to 2:4 (briefly) and later to 6:8 time. Finally you also have the crossover of the hands for the Bb, Gm, Cm section at the start of the song making it extra difficult. If you are looking for some suggestions for easy songs for learning piano / keyboards the following might be useful ; * Flash ( Chords Used : Am, G, F, C, A, Dm, Dmaj, E) * I Want to Break Free (Chords Used : A, B, E, C#, F#sus4, F#) * A Kind of Magic (Chords Used : A, B(9), Dmaj7, F#m7, D, E) All fairly easy tempo and key wise. If you are still interested in the Bohemian Rhapsody chords, I have some chords and information on my site which might explain it better : link Best of Luck ! |

Well, I was trying to figure out the acompniament by ear and all I got was Right hand d f b flat d g f d f b flat d a g e flat g b flat e flat d c |
| AndresGuazzelli 02.08.2005 15:10 |
If anyone still needs the score, I can write it and send it. Or perhaps upload the file to a host. Your call, just say the words (of love) ;) AeG |
| rwon041 03.08.2005 00:21 |
Go to link and go to the sheets page you can download the music from there. It's almost exactly like on the record on the record which I think you're after. The intro's really simple btw but it gets a bit harder in the opera section |

There is a guy from the UK that has posted a good version of this and some other queen tunes. I have asked him to record an overhead shot and he said he post one soon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skzTiRd8sEI |
| Reid_Special_98 20.08.2009 00:11 |
I find a discussion like this sort of a waste of time for the simple fact that this sheet music can be downloaded for free, if you do some digging around. Try www.4shared.com |

My sister plays piano and I got her Queen: Deluxe Anthology. It's piano (and chords for the guitar) sheet music for about 15 different songs. Bo Rhap's in there as well as '39 and even Spread Your Wings. No Love of My Life though. I got it on Amazon. link |
