Yes, Beethoven honors the tradition of presenting the second theme in a major key during the exposition of a movement in sonata form in a minor key. In works like his Piano Sonata No. 8 in C minor, Op. 13 ("Pathétique"), the second theme is indeed introduced in E-flat major, adhering to the classical convention. This contrast between the minor and major keys enhances the emotional depth and complexity of the piece.
