Benjamin Button-Bethena song

[islamstillsucksallah]

I first heard Bethena in the 1979 SOS Titanic when some third class passengers were caught trying to pass through the first class dining room.

Absolutely lovely.. People who watches this movie if open the minds and the hearths can discover a gorgeous human production full of emotions. Superficial people think all the entire movie is long and badly made but I lived it more or less watching it. I wanna play this on the piano buuuut... XD I've just learned jingle bells... It will be very hard

[nahnahnahwoaah]

Love this movie.. so sad but so perfect. As soon as this song starts playing I cry everytime...

[ImagineRevolution64]

I read the book this film was based off of. It was 57 pages long and nothing like the movie. But I liked the film better.

[bloodlust4]

[SarahAndZaraAmadores]

@bloodlust4 chopin polonaise in A flat major, a truly amazing piece!

[potatotomatoe]

[animenice]

[azzim666]

can some please make a tutorial for this simple yet beautiful way to play this wonderful song?

[LazlosPlane]

I've been playing Joplin since the early seventies. There is no scholarly consensus on how to play Joplin, let alone a single piece. Best to read what Joplin himself wrote about how to play "Ragtime," listen to lots of classical waltzes, then let the music speak to you and play it the way you it moves and speaks to you.

Generally, don't play "too fast," or "too slow," whatever THAT means, and make each phrase sing. Don't be afraid to take a little "ritard" at the ends of phrases...

[LazlosPlane]

...but don't over do it, or play every phrase the same.  Don't be afraid to take certain sections slightly faster, as you see fit.

Keep it simple. Elegant. That's Joplin. A true genius.

[K4osLegiNd]

"its not about how well you play, it's how you feel about what you play". without feeling, we are nothing.

[LaMademoiselle113]

one of the best films i've ever seen...and that's one of the most touching moments in it...

[EllieJayne97]

Agreed.

At the end when he says..

Some people Were born to sit by a river,

[dan93iel92]

love this part of the film. thanks for this :D

[castorious]

This song makes me tear up a little everytime I hear it... Maybe because it reminds me of the movie.

[warriorzin]

Haha I learned this song by ear from hearing it twice. I absolutely love it.

[colleen7775]

I'm trying to do the same , but no success lol ! could you tell me what your left hand plays :) ?

thanks !

[warriorzin]

Ahhh it would be really hard to explain without a piano in front of me haha... I learned to play by ear not by sight reading at first.

[colleen7775]

aha !! okay , i'm getting there by ear :)

[LOL8329]

i ADORE this movie
