This is a diversion. Maybe it is part of being interested in surround
sound to believe it is really important.
Of course music exists that is not in front. But the vast bulk of
concert music is not like that. People like to look at what is happening.
They always have, and I doubt that this will change soon.
We all know this. I suppose if organs in churches are the
main thing you listen to... but that is a miniscule
part of the acoustic music market.
Probably someone will mention Gabrieli eventually and Berlioz
Let us read those as given and admit that music is mostly in front.
Because of course it mostly is.

Yes it is! Which is why Ambisonics makes *no* sense for the FRONT in a
musical reproduction system.
"Music of the ordinary sort" being the music that's in front, I guess, making
that a tautology.
I frequently listen to, and record, music in churches (commonly with an organ
behind or to one side), and concerts with music surrounding the audience in
the round (in places as varied as Walthamstow Town Hall, The Union Chapel
Islington, and the Royal Festival Hall).
