I finally found a use for augmented chords! Apparently they're good for more than just slamming out during tense moments in soap operas! E.G. You slept with my father's ghost?! (AUGMENTED CHORD!) I was writing a little classical piece for piano and I'd just used the VI chord just before the final cadence, and I didn't want to go V-I of V7-I So I used III but instead of it being the normal major, it was augmented. Let me tell, you, gentlemen, it is a sexy sound.
