[Smt-talk] I­VI­IV leading to recapitulation?

The closest thing I can think of off the top of my head is the last
movement of Schubert's D. 575 piano sonata, but, after the development, P
appears in subdominant at the onset of its small-ternary recap (to use
Caplin's language), not at the onset of the sonata-form recap. Still, the
I-VI-IV is pretty clear, although it's I-bVI-IV in this case.
