> [@needscoffee](#): > > I don’t understand this one and am afraid that I could have picked it if I did (sorry!): I don’t think I deserve to have won. 🙂 About a half an hour ago I realized I hadn’t entered my clues and I wrote them in less than a minute. This is the reason why I forgot someone else had already mentioned Brazil.

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._ ---
