Prik7

I got a score of prokofiev 7th sonata from internet, from a respected and trusted site. The score is in Cmajor (there are no flats or sharps to indicate any other scale) but every where I look, it says Prokofiev 7th is in Bflat major.....?????

Is my score wrong? I don't think so, when i play it it sounds the same as the recordings that I have...... :P

The key in the first movement is in C but the tonality of the whole movement is in B flat and it ends in B flat.  You'll find many pedal tones that are b flats.  The last movement, which is a fantastic toccata, is in B flat.
