The Czech composer-journalist Max Brod has also identified Jewish tunes and rhythms in Mahler's music. A technical device much used by Mahler is that of ""progressive tonality,"" which Deryck Cooke describes as ""the procedure of resolving a symphonic conflict in a different key from that in which it was stated,"" and which is often used ""to symbolise the gradual ascendancy of a certain value by progress from one key to another over the whole course of a"
