Waldesgesprach Analysis - Bolyard

Waldesgesprach by Robert Schumann modulates 4 times. The piece begins in E major, and it stays in this key from measures 1-14. The piece then modulates to C major for measures 15-32. The piece returns to E major from 33-40. In measures 41-44, this song modulates to the parallel minor, which is E minor. Finally, this piece returns to E major for measures 45-72. This piece uses no closely related keys or diatonic pivot tones for modulation. At first, this song was tricky to analyze the modulations since it uses so many secondary chords, and there are some other chromatic chords I was unable to analyze.
