The figures without brackets indicate the dates of production as given in the collected edition of Arthur Schnitzler's works issued by the _S.
Fischer Verlag_, Berlin, 1912. The figures within brackets, showing the dates of publication, are taken from the twenty-fifth anniversary catalogue of the same house (Berlin, 1911), and from C. G. Kayser's "_Vollstandiges Bucher-Lexikon_" (Leipzig, 1891-1912).
"Anatol" was first published by the _Bibliographische Bureau_ (Berlin, 1893), and "A Piece of Fiction" by E. Pierson (Dresden, 1894). Both were reprinted by the _Fischer Verlag_ in 1895. The original versions of "A Piece of Fiction" and "Amours" have been considerably revised.
"Change Partners!" was printed privately in 1900, and was subsequently published by the _Wiener Verlag_, Vienna. "The Gallant Ka.s.sian" was published by Ludwig Doblinger, Leipzig.
"The Green c.o.c.katoo," "Paracelsus" and "The Life Partner" appeared in one volume with the sub-t.i.tle "Three One-act Plays." "Hours of Life,"
"The Lady With the Dagger," "End of the Carnival," and "Literature"
were published together under the t.i.tle of the first play. "The Puppet Player," "The Gallant Ca.s.sian," and "The Greatest Show of All" were brought out in a single volume under the t.i.tle of "Puppets"(_Marionetten_).
For additional bibliographical data, see "Arthur Schnitzler: a Bibliography," by Archibald Henderson (_Bulletin of Bibliography_, Boston, 1913); "The Modern Drama," by Ludwig Lewisohn (New York, 1915), and "The Continental Drama of Today," by Barrett H. Clark (New York, 1914). A good, though brief, a.n.a.lysis of Schnitzler's work is found in Dr. Lewisohn's volume.

Three of the dialogues in "Change Partners!" were performed by members of the _Akademisch-dramatischer Verein_ at Munich in 1904.
