Bohemian Rhapsody for violin

August 1, 2012 at 02:14 PM · Hi all, my colleague who plays guitar wants to do a duet with me of Bohemian Rhapsody. I bought a Hal Leonard arrangement, but it's not very good. It's missing the beginning of the song and some parts seem incomplete. has anyone tried to play this song? I've seen lots of great versions on YouTube, but figuring out how to play them is another matter! This Hal Leonard arrangement is in D major, but I saw another arrangement in what I think is b flat. So, I guess what I'm asking is for recommendations on sheet music and/or if anyone knows what key this song is in. Thanks!
