Bill and Richard,

Herman Miller has a MIDI pitchbend retuned familiar piece of music to 22tet on his
music page.

The Star Spangled Banner:  http://www.io.com/~hmiller/music/star.mid

as well as other music in various temperaments:

I haven't gotten around to trying Paul Erlich's "hexachordal dodecatonic" 12 from
22 scale, but I have an instrument tuned to a closed 1/3 syntonic comma meantone,
alias 19tet.

Several major guitar companies are building instruments fretted (or not fretted)
for scales other than 12tet; also, it would seem that Paul has forgotten about the
22 tone piano in the works.

As to other things the pedestrian 12 tone piano can do, Ben Johnston's Music for
Microtonal Piano is an interesting example:
