Edvard Grieg (1843-1907) is the representative of Norway Nationalism composer in the nineteenth century. His compositions consist of orchestral pieces, concertos, piano pieces and songs. Most of his works use Norwegian folksong. He promoted Norwegian folksong throughout his creative career. In 1874, Grieg collaborated with the playwright, Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906), in Ibsen¡¦s new play ¡§Peer Gynt¡¨ (1874-1876). The play contains twenty-three incidental music. Few years later (1888 & 1892), Grieg chose and rearranged eight popular pieces of ¡§Peer Gynt,¡¨ and separated them into two suites. This thesis is divided into two sections, excluding the introduction and conclusion. The first section discusses the biography of Grieg and Ibsen, and the correlation of their lives and background of the ¡§Peer Gynt.¡¨ The second section analyzes the form and characteristics of eight pieces from ¡¥Peer Gynt¡¦ Suites No. 1 and 2, and it also discusses the interpretation from a conductor¡¦s viewpoint. Examples are also provided in the discussion.

This problem has been limited to a study of the largest form among Grieg's piano compositions, the Piano Concert in A Minor. References are made to his smaller piano pieces, for the concerto has proved representative of his style of composition and, being one of his earlier works, it reflects a vigor and enthusiasm not present in his later work. Rhythm is discussed with relationship to the harmony and melody in the sections devoted to these two elements. The present study does not include consideration of the orchestral score and its relationship to the piano part.

Benes in the milieu of the Czech pro- Benes contemporary witnesses of him and their organizations, characterizes their narrative and shows their activities, which were done in direction to the celebration of this hero.

The fourth chapter analyzes the pictures of Benes in the Czech political...
