The music being played in the background at the ambassador's party in Casablanca is the second movement of Haydn's Emperor Quartet, which contains the melody of the Austro-Hungarian National Hymn of 1797, which was to become the German National Hymn in 1922. Playing the Haydn quartet would not have been regarded inappropriate in terms of protocol as it existed 125 years before being used for the 'Deutschland Über Alles' hymn. The Haydn composition is not a 'lounge version' of the hymn, as the hymn was derived from the quartet.
