There are two voices I hear here vis-a-vis Bach:

1. Art for art's sake -- the romantic idea

2. Art for money's sake -- the distinction of commercial vs commisioned

being a fine semantic distinction.
Bach himself expressed a view however which does not fit in with either:

*

Anything done other than for the service of God is vanity*
