Aren't I wicked?! Absolutely and relatively. Sorry folks.

The juxtaposition of the keys of Eb and A is interesting in
Il Sogno di Scipione K 126 1772
Lucia Silla K 135 1772
La Finta Giardiniera K 196 1774
Il Re pastore K 208 1775
Zaiede K 344 1780
Idomeneo K 366 1781
Die Entfuehrung... K 384 1782
L'Oca del Cairo K 422 1783
La Clemeza di Tito K 621 1791

Handel is another case
Sosarme begins in A ends in F
Joshua begins in Bb ends in D

Carl Nielsen's Symphonies
#1 begins in C ends in C
#2 begins in Bm ends in A major
#3 begins in Am ends in A major
#4 begins in A (?) ends in E
#5 begins in Am ends in Eb
#6 begins in G ends in Bb

Hindemith
Mathis der Mahler (suite)
begins in G ends in Db

Mahler
2nd Symphony
Begins in Cm ends in Eb
7th Symphony
Begins in Bm (?) ends in C

(?)= ambiguous
