* Due to [[MobySchtick how often it's been parodied on TV and such]], anyone can tell you a few things about ''Literature/MobyDick'': it's that book about Captain Ahab trying to hunt a whale, you can call the narrator Ishmael, and it's incredibly long. Not many people have read the book itself, with aspects like the constant {{Ho Yay}} and who the other members of Ahab's crew were coming as a surprise to those who do. You'd also be lucky to find ''anyone'' who can name one of Creator/HermanMelville's other works.
* ''Literature/OliverTwist'' is definitely a recognizable name, being a Creator/CharlesDickens novel. Most people know the story is about an orphan in an abusive home and can tell you that [[SignatureLine he said "please, sir, I want some more"]], but who were any of the other characters and how does the plot go?

** What little most people know of Wagner's music is because it's been used in other places--''Film/ApocalypseNow'' and the ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' cartoon "WesternAnimation/WhatsOperaDoc" for "Music/RideOfTheValkyries", and weddings for the "Bridal Chorus". Check out the Classics section of StandardSnippet for these and other bits of Wagner that you never knew you knew.
** "Liebestod" is an example on its own. It is one of the more famous bits of Wagner, a notable finale and dramatic death scene from someone who put a lot into his dramatic deaths. It is a true test of both the musical director and the female lead to be able to do it justice. Now, how does the tune go?
* Music/MauriceRavel: Known for solely the "Boléro", which is almost a BlackSheepHit, as the rest of his oeuvre sounds different.
* Camille Saint Saëns: Apart from "Danse Macabre" and "Carnival Of The Animals" it almost seems as if he didn't do anything else in his life.
* Music/ErikSatie: Hailed as one of the great innovators of classical music, yet apart from "Trois Gymnopédies", which can be heard on soundtracks once in a while, his music isn't that well known to the general public.
* Music/EdwardElgar: In the UK he is known for the "Land Of Hope And Glory" march from "Pomp & Circumstance", which is still played annually to bring up PatrioticFervor during the Last Night of the Proms and other official UK national manifestations. In the US he is known for the same melody but associated with college graduations and [[Wrestling/RandySavage Macho Men]]. So it's safe to say that that one section of the entire "Pomp & Circumstance" march is more well-known than anything else he ever did. "Nimrod" from the ''Enigma Variations'' is also a standard snippet, but it's open to question how many people actually recognise it as his.
* Music/GustavHolst: "The Planets" is one of the most popular musical works of all time and has been plagiarized so often by other composers, especially on movie soundtracks that depict science fiction or battles that most people probably assume he stole it from them instead of the other way around. It's also his only famous work, more well-known than the composer itself.
** Within "The Planets" itself, everybody knows how Mars and Jupiter go, and there must presumably be another five, but...
* Music/AaronCopland is one of America's most celebrated composers, yet only "Hoedown" and "Fanfare For The Common Man" may ring a bell when played on a CD.
