Ey! How sweet the coffee tastes
Johann Sebastian Bach's Coffee Cantata
by Hans-Joachim Schulze, translated by Alfred Mann
In 1685, at the time of the first coffee house opening in Leipzig, nobody might have foreseen the victorious career the black drink would make during the next centuries. While at the beginning coffee houses were said to be places of depravation, later on even concerts (conducted also by the Thomas Cantor Johann Sebastian Bach) were given there. In this book the internationally accepted Bach researcher Hans-Joachim Schulze gives a most interesting insight into the culture and history of coffee drinking and describes in a well-founded as well as entertaining way the evolutionary history of the Coffee Cantata.
