Looking forward to hearing the comp!

I've been enjoying a melodic device I found in Robert Schumann's short 
piano piece "Aveu."  Thought of in terms of the blues scale, you could 
use the scale's 5th over the i chord, the flatted 5th in a MII chord, 
and let that linger/resolve into the 7th of a V7.  (In A Minor, that 
would be an E, Eb, D over the A Minor, B Major, E7.)  If Schumann was 
doing this in the 1800's, it's been around for a while, but it was a new 
understanding to my ear/head!
