Bethena (1905). Scott Joplin /the curious case of benjamin button/

As played by Randy Kerber, Bethena by Scott Joplin shows up in the soundtrack for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

Marc Silver: When Joplin wrote the waltz in 1905, his wife of two months had just died; Bethena may well have been her nickname. Now, more than a century later, the song is perfectly suited for the Benjamin Button movie. In spite of its age, "Bethena" sounds as fresh as it if were written just minutes ago, a tender and heartfelt remembrance of a love lost.
