  • @hipepleful During Bach's time coffee was relatively new to Europe, in addition, being an import, and being the Turks most likely controlled the growing and trade of coffee, it was probably expensive.

  • @classiqmusiq agreed, its hard when there speaking German.

  • @hipepleful That's exactly it. She won't listen to him no matter what he does, though, until he threatens to forbid her to marry if she doesn't give up coffee. While the father goes out to find her a husband, she secretly tells them all that if they want to marry her, they must let her drink coffee. In the end, the narrator, the father, and the daughter all sing the moral of the story: "drinking coffee is natural."

  • What is this even about? A girl loving coffee and her father telling to not drink it?

  • @CarstenOepping i mean .. very well pronounced by the Lady .... especially. thank you !

  • very nice ! very well pronounced! right speed . maybe some more acting ( like in opera) would be nice.

  • I don't care which language it's in.. It is hilarious. Go Bach and your love of coffee!
