Product Description
"Love Of My Life," from Queen's 1975 album A Night At The Opera, was originally written by Freddie Mercury for his ex-fiance Mary Austin. Notable for showcasing Mercury's familiarity with classical music, particularly Chopin and Beethoven, the song became a live-performance hit and was later adapted for the stage. This is an arrangement of the original studio version, and the classical influences are very apparent - it almost sounds like an andante movement from a Mozart or Beethoven quartet! Filled with beautiful lush four-part harmonies, interconnected counterpoint, sweeping melodic lines, and unexpected chord changes, this chart is not difficult to play but will have a major impact on your audience! Rated intermediate - this will be easily sightreadable by professionals and playable for students (keep an eye out for the occasional brief time signature change).
