A few classical examples off the top of my head:

1. Schubert's A major piano sonata, D. 959, I, ends with a Bb7->A  
cadence.
2. Schubert's C major string quintet, last movement, ends with a G4/3 
[b5]->C progression.
2. Chopin C# minor nocturne, opening page, has a D7->c# progression  
over a C# pedal.
3. Brahms's Bb intermezzo, op. 76 no. 4, near the end (just before  
"poco string."), has a c/o7->B7->Bb progression.
