* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Bach's 1731 {{oratorio}} ''St Mark Passion'' (''Markus-Passion'', in the original German) is believed to be completely lost, with only Picander's libretto remaining. At least a dozen composers have [[GeorgeLucasAlteredVersion tried to recreate it]] by putting pieces of Bach's other work or music from other composers alongside the libretto.

* GenreAdultery: {{Inverted|Trope}}. Most people encounter Bach's music through his instrumental works, such as the keyboard pieces, the organ works, the violin and/or cello sonatas, or the Brandenburg Concertos. Once they start to explore his music in more depth, they generally encounter the ''St. Matthew Passion'' and realise that he also wrote some church music for ensemble and choir. Then they find out that he also wrote the ''St. John Passion'', and realise that he wrote ''more'' church music. Then, if they dig further, they realise that he also wrote ''three hundred cantatas'' for everyday use in church, of which two hundred survive and have been recorded many times, as well as about two hundred harmonised chorale settings of Lutheran hymns. At this point, the listener realises that the cantatas and chorales are what Bach spent most of his career writing, and if anything represents this trope, it's the instrumental works.
