Nice job ! Is that a piano solo score ?
Depressing the pedal on an out of tune acoustic piano and playing does not result in tonal color control or add interest, it's called obnoxious.

NICE !!!! and welcome to PIANOSTREET ;D   

I feel the playing to be a little too nice ....  seems to lack the roughness (almost banging the keys) and abandon way Freddie Mercury used to play it.  Feels a bit too gentle.  But again I may be wrong as I am not a pianist and your "refined" playing may be what the score calls for.
