What in your opinion is the best piano part in any Queen song. For me it has to be It's A Hard Life... how about the rest of you?
Somebody To Love
I got to try al little more, because I'm an asshole but I'm learning. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfTLkUcQ7QY
Freddie's piano is just fantastic and it makes Queen's music so special. Well but if we talk about the best part...how about the introduction of the Seven Seas of Rhye?
The middle section of "Love of my life" - even my father, who is a classical musician, is quite impressed by this passage.

It shows his skills and his wonderful sense of melody.

I like Death On Two Legs, especially after I heard the story of Freddies bleeding fingers.

In addition to the fabulous examples already mentioned...I'd like to add Don't Stop me Now. Especially when they come into Brian's solo. It's just so full of energy and so much fun to listen to.
Gott über alles
For me, hands down, it's Don't Stop Me Now.
I also love the piano in Somebody to Love and Just You and I.

My Melancholy Blues - it shows Freddie's skills in different styles of piano-playing.

Yikes! I never heard that before. What's the story?

I've never heard about it either. Instead I've heard the story (I don't remember who was telling it... Brian?) about Freddie's bleeding ears... When they were recording vocals, Freddie was singing with such anger and the music in his headphones was playing so loud that after he had finished, his ears starded to bleed...

Yeah... you've got some good comments there!!

How about adding something new to the mix - best solo piano part for Freddie and Brian?

For me it's got to be:

FM - Exercises in Free Love
BM - TMLWKY
Well, but going back to the question, the best piano parts are for me intro of "Death On Two Legs", also intro of "Seven Seas of Rhye', "Somebody To Love", very easy but nice and recognizable piano part in "Bohemian Rhapsody". I also love "My Melancholy Blues", "Love Of My Life" and "Sail Away Sweet Sister".
