@LadyLockets In my music it doesn't appear to change key...I checked the piano part too, although I'm very rusty at music theory. The cello part doesn't change, there's just a section with lots of accidentals

[LadyLockets]

I know it's in G Major, but can you tell me what key it modulates into in the middle section? I can't figure it out.
