Because of the structure of this unique tuning, every existing piece of common practice music has, effectively, a "shadow" version in mavila temperament. That is, when Beethoven wrote Für Elise, he actually wrote two compositions—the one that you know, and the antidiatonic equivalent in mavila temperament. It's only that the antidiatonic versions have never been heard before until now. Examples of this are provided below.

Mavila's antidiatonic scale is similar to the [[pelog]] scale used in Indonesian gamelan music. However, Pelog's exact tuning is subject to significant regional variation and usually has unequal intervals throughout the scale (as opposed to having exactly two interval sizes), but it can be well approximated by the antidiatonic scale of [[9edo]] and [[16edo]].
