'''Mavila''' is a [[regular temperament|temperament]] where the [[135/128|major chroma (135/128)]] is tempered out. It was first discovered by [[Erv Wilson]], possibly in 1989<ref>A ''Linear Tuning of 4-"5"-"6" Artihmetic Mean (−3=5)'' paper from 1989 was referenced in Erv Wilson's ''Meta Meantone & Meta Mavila'' paper.</ref>, after studying the tuning of the timbila music of the Chopi tribe in Mozambique. | '''Mavila''' is a [[regular temperament|temperament]] where the [[135/128|major chroma (135/128)]] is tempered out.

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. Examples of this are provided below. | Because of the structure of this unique tuning, every existing piece of common practice music has, effectively, a "shadow" version in mavila temperament.

Mavila's antidiatonic scale is similar to the [[pelog]] scale used in Indonesian gamelan music. 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]]. | Mavila's antidiatonic scale is similar to the [[pelog]] scale used in Indonesian gamelan music.
