He composed it probably between 1732 and 1735. Although classified as a cantata, it is essentially a miniature comic opera. In a satirical commentary, the cantata amusingly tells of an addiction to coffee. == History and text == Bach regularly directed a musical ensemble based at Zimmermann's coffee house called a collegium musicum, founded by Georg Philipp Telemann in 1702. The libretto suggests that some people in eighteenth-century Germany viewed coffee drinking as a bad habit. However, the work is likely to have been first performed at the coffee house in Leipzig. The cantata's libretto (written by Christian Friedrich Henrici, known as Picander), features lines like "If I couldn't, three times a day, be allowed to drink my little cup of coffee, in my anguish I will turn into a shriveled-up roast goat".〔(BWV 211 – "Schweigt stille, plaudert nicht" ), Emmanuel Music〕 Bach wrote no operas: the cantata was written for concert performance,〔(Cantata BWV 211, Coffee Cantata ), Bach Choir of Bethlehem〕 but is frequently performed today fully staged with costumes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Schweigt stille, plaudert nicht, BWV 211」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
