- Price composed this quartet in 1935. It was her second work in the genre, following her String Quartet No. 1 in G Major.1
- Schirmer has published this as Price’s “String Quartet No. 2 in a minor.”
- As was her practice, Price used a Juba theme in place of the traditional third movement minuet or scherzo.2
