Oh no, they were for the masses. Most of Bach's product is church
music and those days you can't get more for masses than that.
Similarly there used to be plenty of concert halls where the musicians
played fast and loud, mostly to the people leering and cheering. Most
composers were not retainers by the nobility but would make money by
selling the note sheets (and that's one of the many reason why
Copyright came to be).
