愛德華．葛利格（Edvard Hagerup Grieg, 1843-1907）是十九世紀挪威國民樂派的代表作曲家，創作類型包括管弦樂曲、協奏曲及大量的鋼琴曲與歌曲，其中不乏現今所熟知的曲目，作品中所使用的曲調，大部份都是來自於挪威的民謠，葛利格藉此發揚挪威音樂。挪威的著名劇作家亨利克．易卜生（Henrik Ibsen, 1828-1906）於一八六七年發表新劇本《皮爾金》（Peer Gynt）後，在印刷第三版前夕，邀請葛利格為這部劇作配上音樂，葛利格費時兩年，於一八七六年完成這部作品的配樂。《皮爾金》推出後雖頗受好評，但其作品的形式及編排不適用於音樂會上，於是葛利格從配樂中挑選八首較受歡迎的曲目進行編寫並重新排序，組合成《皮爾金第一、二號組曲》（‘Peer Gynt’ Suites No. 1 and 2）。
本文除了前言與結語之外，共分成兩個部份。第一部分主要為介紹作曲家葛利格和劇作家易卜生的生平、探討《皮爾金組曲》創作背景。第二部份則分析《皮爾金第一、二號組曲》的八首樂曲的曲式及創作手法、以指揮的觀點探討排練要點及詮釋方式，輔以譜例說明之。

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.
