J. S. Bach wrote his "Toccata and Fugue in D minor" for the organ

Current thinking is that it was not a toccata, was originally in A minor, was intended for the violin and certainly wasn't by Bach. It sets some kind of record for misattribution.

Andrew Manze has recorded a terrific version of the violin reconstruction.
