add fugue, contrapuntal, counterpoint, polyphony etc to your symphonic
searches.
All 19th century composers were trained extensively in counterpoint and
you can find examples, be it shorter imitative phrases or full-blown
fugues (less so) in most major symphonic works of the 19th century.
I can probably help you more if you give a bit more detail as to what
you want from these examples.
As Dave said above, you will find many more examples in chamber music
than the symphony.
