It turns out that the concert affects the taste of coffee? What kind of music do you like to go with your coffee?

For professional baristas, please follow the coffee workshop (Wechat official account cafe_style)

Do you like coffee? Have you found that the same cup of coffee actually tastes a little different with and without music? That's right ~ what I want to say is that the concert affects people's taste buds! A study shows that music may actually have an impact on the way we taste our food and drinks! Cool!

Basically, this phenomenon is called "sonic seasoning": your brain already has the impression of what certain food tastes like, and you are just going to test the idea (for example, ice cream will be sweet, or steak will be juicy,); but when you play music and you eat it, your brain tries to get these two dynamics-food and music-to essentially "mesh" together to form a new experience. For example, a gloomy voice will lead to bitterness, while a louder tune will make your drink sweeter.

Well, if you don't believe it, you can try it.

So here comes the question!

What songs do you like to listen to when you have coffee at home (eating out)?

"Lost Rivers"?

"On The Floor"?

I'm just kidding. Today, with the four most common kinds of coffee, the editor has selected the classical music suitable for tasting these coffees, so that you can listen to music and enjoy bi banquets (ge) while drinking coffee!

Cafe Americano

According to psychologist Ramani Durvasula, people who like to drink American coffee have a direct personality; they like to keep everything simple and hate complexity, which can match the type of music that can drink American coffee like this. The music that the editor will recommend is Mozart's bassoon and cello sonata in B flat major.

▲ Mozart: bassoon and Cello Sonata in B flat major (Mozart: Sonata for bassoon & cello in B flat major,KV292)

In the classical period, the music emphasized balance and beauty, and the music was composed according to a certain format. Mozart's piece was born in 1722 and has his unique fluent and pleasant style. Bassoon is obviously the main melody in the collocation of bassoon and cello. With the assistance of cello, the two melodies are sometimes intertwined and sometimes parallel, keeping simple harmony, so that the mind can return to pure harmony after listening. Just like the simplicity of American coffee without impurities.

Cafe Latte

Latte is the most popular coffee, the thick milk is poured on the espresso, the mellow milk flavor and coffee are combined into one, drinking heavily, neutralizing the bitterness of black coffee, if added with sugar and a level of flavor, how can people not be fascinated? coffee with strong milk flavor is the most suitable music, the editor thinks it is the French Saint-mulberry clarinet sonata!

▲ Saint-San: clarinet Sonata (Saint-Sa ë ns: Sonata in Eb Major, Op. 167 for Clarinet & Piano)

It can be said that French music became popular almost after the romantic school. Many French music has a changeable timbre and rich color style, and this work is no exception. This piece was composed by Saint-Saens in 1921. The four movements have different styles, whether it is an independent movement or the whole piece.

The timbre of the clarinet is the instrument with the highest range of all woodwinds, and the variety it can have is also the greatest. No matter the excitement of the treble and the whisper of the bass, it always makes people feel gentle and affectionate, and it can make people intoxicated for a long time after listening to it. just like watching milk pour into coffee from deep to shallow and slowly rotate and finally blend, we can feel the mellow milk fragrance at the first sip. It is highly recommended that you drink lattes with this music. Imagine the romance of milk and coffee dancing in your mouth.

Cappuccino

People often mistake cappuccino and latte and feel that they are almost all coffee with milk, but in fact, their flavors are different. To put it simply, latte is a coffee with strong milk flavor, while cappuccino is coffee flavor. The original name of cappuccino (Cappuccino) refers to the loose robes and pointed hats worn by Italian monks at that time. This kind of coffee gets its name because the steamed milk on espresso is like the color of Italian St. Franciscan monks covering a dark brown coat with a headscarf.

Coffee editors with written interest like this think that the music that can be matched must certainly be matched with vocal music! in the well-known Bach works, there is such a "coffee oratorio" (original name: please be quiet, don't talk).

▲ Bach: coffee oratorio (JS Bach: Coffee Cantata)

In this oratorio, the father and daughter quarreled over coffee. The father thought his daughter was too addicted to coffee and wanted to tell her to quit, but the daughter sang the lyrics: "Ah!" How mellow and delicious coffee is better than thousands of warm kisses and better than sweet wine. I wonder if coffee-loving fans agree with the lyrics? the song has a triple rhythm. When you listen to it, you can smell the smell of coffee, and you can also feel the heroine's deep love for coffee.

Mocha Coffee

In the early days, mocha coffee was actually coffee beans from the Yemeni region, with a taste of chocolate, but today's mocha is a wide range of flavor drinks that add chocolate to the coffee, and there are all kinds of mocha seasonings. Cocoa, chocolate sauce, dark chocolate, white chocolate … . in some chain stores, it will almost be called mocha coffee, like this coffee with chocolate, the editor feels that there is a feeling of love!

No matter what holiday it is to give lovers a gift, chocolate can almost be said to be the first choice. In music, the first thing that comes to mind is the third song of Liszt's Dream of Love!

▲ Liszt: dream of Love (Franz Liszt: Love Dream)

At first, Liszt's dream of love was three solos, but later Liszt adapted it into lyric piano music. although the song sounds quite like love, the original lyrics depict human love, not just love. When listening to this piano song, you can learn more about the content of the music: "Love!" Love as long as you like, as long as you like. The time for you to stay at the grave and mourn is coming. Your heart is always burning and sentimentally attached, as long as there is a heart to return warmth to you. As long as someone reveals his sincerity to you, you will try your best to make him happy all the time. "

Seeing this, can't you wait to start a zhuang bi day with this music while drinking coffee?
