I do want you to realize that, for example, in a dance piece or something, if the left hand is providing a simple block chord accompaniment, an augmented second in one of the inner voices will not be noticed and could save you from using some very awkward progressions with the lowered seventh degree or raised sixth degree. If you just want some standard harmony, chances are that iv V or ii*6 V will require that augmented second in an inner voice. In a fugue, on the other hand, every voice will be heard and the unusual second will sound unusual.
This weekend soon I will post a lesson about using chromatic non chord tones (what do you call them? like passing tones, etc...), the Neapolitan chord and that augmented III+6 chord. I also hope we can begin working on our sarabandes.
