“My three quartets were written within a few years of each other – between 1993 and 2001 … ” Eleanor has told The Violin Channel.

“I owe a great deal to my late dear friend David Angel (1955- 2017), long serving 2nd violinist in the Maggini Quartet, for instigating the commissioning of both the 1st and 3rd quartets … the 2nd was commissioned by the Smith Quartet – a group dedicated to the performance of contemporary music,” she has said.
