    Scarlatti's G major Capriccio. It's number 63 in the Kirkpatrick catalogue, number 84 in the Longo catalogue, and it's on pages 60-63 in Scarlatti: An Introduction to his Keyboard Works, published by Alfred Publishers.

    I call it an Ydracip third--that's Picardy spelled backwards.

    PS Are you collecting music theory oddities?

    Here is a secondary sub-dominant: In the slow movement of Mozart's Sonata Facile, K 545, there is one which opens the coda in the second movement. Measure 65 is on F maor, measure 66 is on C major, and measures 67-68 form a cadence on G major.

    Du grosser Schmerzensmann by Bach. Well, I guess it's Baroque really but it's still an example. :)

    *Sorry I thought you said it had to fit into classical so forget the Baroque thing.
