Classical sonata, major/minor subjects

Hi all, I'm currently working on a classical sonata for solo piano. Out of curiosity, are there examples of classical sonatas in a major key, with the section leading up to the da capo in a minor key?

The first movement of Beethoven's "Kreutzer" sonata, I think. The opening is in major, and then the main body of the movement is in minor.
