Frank Stiles, Four Pieces for Solo Viola (1959), composed for her[7]
Frank Stiles, Viola Concerto No. 1, composed for and dedicated to her (1955, first performance 1962) [3]
She played in several
chamber music combinations; including the
Zorian String Quartet, of which she was a founding member.[8] She participated in several premiere performances and recordings by the Zorian Quartet.
For many years, she taught viola at the Royal Academy of Music. In 1971, she pointed out to
musicologist and violist
Martin Jarvis, one of her students, some problems with the published editions of the
Bach cello suites. That observation eventually led to his hypothesis that they had been composed by
Anna Magdalena Bach and not, as commonly supposed, by her husband
Johann Sebastian Bach.[9]
She wrote a book designed for beginning viola students, The First-Year Viola Method.[10]
