Bach. "Back to Bach" is the theme of the neoclassical movement.

Brandenburg concertos was created in 1721.
Many composers did, but the most famous of the composers who wrote solo works for the violin were J. S. Bach and Nicolo Paganini. Paganini's works are very difficult, however. Another well-known one is Fritz Kreisler.
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) wrote over one-thousand compositions. A catalog numbering system was created in 1950 by Wolfgang Schmieder and each composition was assigned a BWV number.BWV is the German acronym for Bach-Verke-Verzeichnistranslated: Bach Work Catalog. The numbering system grouped works thematically, so they are not in any chronological order. Thus, a low number as in BWV 232 does not necessarily mean that this was an early work of JS Bach.The present BWV catalog indicates there were 1,127 works written by Bach.It should be noted, though, that a small number of these works are now thought to have been attributed to Bach in error, and that many of his works are known to have been lost after his death, meaning that the total number of works he actually wrote is significantly higher.

Although many of Bach's works are "famous" (well known throughout generations including Bach's own and into our own), I think it may be argued that the Toccata and Fugue in d minor for organ is probably one of the more famous works now due to its inclusion, iconification, and proliferation in modern media like film, television, and radio.
Toccata and Fugue in D Minor :D
BWV -not BMW- stands for Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis ("Catalogue of Bach's Works"), made and published by musicologist Wolfgang Schmieder in 1950, and thoroughly updated in 1990. Every known musical work by Johann Sebastian Bach has been assigned a BWV number in his catalogue.
Many composers did, but the most famous of the composers who wrote solo works for the violin were J. S. Bach and Nicolo Paganini. Paganini's works are very difficult, however. Another well-known one is Fritz Kreisler.
Know body knows there are so many 1/2 of them are lost or unknown.Bach wrote 1,200 musical works.
Firstly, a major composer like Bach didn't write "songs". A song is sung ... works are played. There are far too many to list here. A list of those in public domain are listed in the link below.
