Best Answer

Yes composers can go from any key to any other. Through complicated kinds of modulations or simple mode mixtures.

Mode mixture would be the easiest form of "key change" in terms of writing sharps and flats, however, your ears don't perceive it as a key change because the tonic note hasn't changed. For example, the key of D major has 2 sharps F# and C#. If you use mode mixture and change to D minor then there is on flat, Bb. These keys are written differently but the tonic note in each key is the note D.
