they could have used the first movement for this scene as well, as i find that one much more darker than this movement, however the entire quartet itself is his best work
This scene was incredibly moving the first time I saw it, especially being a classical music lover and having an interest in military history. Beethoven transcends all the cruelty and destructiveness of the war and captain Nixon's assertive correction chokes me up.
Take one of the lowest points in human history and add the affecting music of our greatest composer and you can reduce anyone to tears.
PS: One of the violin players reminds me of a young-looking Mahler.
Actually, it is indeed the sixth movement as previously stated. I see you pointed out the three tempo markings in the 4th 5th and 6th movements. Also, you stated: It's the 5th Movement... Presto...
If you actually knew the definitions for the various tempo markings, you would have realized that movement five is a high tempo, thus disqualifying it as a possibility for the movement played above.
131: String Quartet No. 14 in C-sharp minor; movement 6. Look it up.
This scene was actually really moving when I saw it for the first time.

Most moving part of BoB in my opinion (half german):
Nixon: "Hitler's dead. Shot himself in Berlin."
Liebgott: "Should've done that 4 years ago. Would've saved us a lot of trouble."
Nixon: "Yeah... He should have.
But he didn't."
Goosebumps every frickin' time.

It's the 5th Movement... Presto...
4th andante ma non tropp e molto cantabile
6th adagio quasi un poco andante
5th, the one from the film, only about a minute and a half, is Presto.

Thanks for the correction.

Although I said it would be the 4th, you are right anyway. It is indeed the 6th, sorry, my mistake!

@harryminorhood Beethoven's 6th movement is from the dark ages, the plague, maddness, and delight from Eastern Europe....Hauntingly beautiful.

what is the name of the music?

That is the String Quartet No. 14 Op. 131., 4th movement by L.v.Beethoven.
IMO the important thing is, what he says at the end "That is not Mozart - that´s Beethoven".
Clearly the greatest composer of all times, again IMO
