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.
