Although the majority of rags have 2 or 4 beats in the bar, Scott Joplin and others have written a few "Ragtime Waltzes" with 3 beats in the bar. Bethena was a good choice to end the film "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and it makes a good addition to the mfiles catalogue - sheet music available from www.mfiles.co.uk.

@MadridistaFG7 Me too! I don't think anyone has adequately explained why music can move us to tears.

In the second movement my piano teacher had put a natural next to a note that wasn't written in the piece. I'm not sure if he is right, I wanted your opinion. Great job, by the way. This is the way Scott Joplin intended it to sound like!

@awesomejasim which bar did your teacher put the natural in?
jimatmfiles 7 months ago
@jimatmfiles Measure 35 and 47.

@awesomejasim It looks like there are 2 alternative versions of Bethena. I found one on imslp.org which has E-natural then E-flat in the right-hand in bar 35 and bar 43. But all the other free versions have only E-flats in these bars including mfiles.co.uk. Unless anyone knows which version Scott Joplin played, we should assume that both versions are correct and it's down to personal preference.
But thanks very much for mentioning this - If I find out any more I will post it here.
