Hi Zac,
One example that I can think of is Beethoven, Op. 109, second movement, at the return (m. 109). Not sure if anyone has written about this (though perhaps Schenker's explanatory edition might shed light on it).

Thank you to Ed, Rick, Nate, and Daniel for these very helpful leads, some of which I was already acquainted with. Thanks also to a couple of people who wrote to me privately. In the meantime, I wish to mention two authors who endorsed multiple appr…
I find Bach's practice most interesting in the places where the N6 (or Phrygian II) doesn't proceed to V in the "usual" way.
