J.S. Bach and One of my Favorite Vices


Via mental_floss: between 1732 and 1734, J.S. Bach wrote a cantata entitled "Schweight stille, plaudert nicht," or called the Coffee Cantata. I must find a recording of this caffeinated composition:

"Mm! how sweet the coffee tastes,more delicious than a thousand kisses,mellower than muscatel wine.Coffee, coffee I must have,and if someone wishes to give me a treat,ah, then pour me out some coffee!"
