We present a study of elliptic flow ($v_2$) and two-particle azimuthal correlations of charged hadrons and high transverse momentum ($p_T$) pions measured by the CERES experiment in Pb+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s}$~=~17 GeV. Azimuthal anisotropy $v_2$ increases linearly with $p_T$ to a value of 10% at $p_T$~=~1.5 GeV/$c$. Beyond this $p_T$ the slope decreases indicating a possible saturation at high $p_T$. Two-pion azimuthal anisotropies ($p_T>$~1.2 GeV/$c$) exceed $v_2$ by about 60% in semicentral collisions and reveal non-harmonic contributions at close ($\Delta\phi\approx0$) and back-to-back ($\Delta\phi\approx\pi$) angles that can be attributed to semihard processes. While the close-angle peak remains unchanged, the back-to-back peak is broadened and disappears in central collisions.
