Are there any misconceptions about Bach’s music?

A common misconception about Bach’s music is that it was well-received during his lifetime. In reality, it was not until the 19th century, notably with the efforts of composers like Felix Mendelssohn, that Bach's works gained significant recognition. Another misconception is that his music is purely academic, lacking emotion, whereas in fact, his compositions are deeply expressive and scientific.
