Mithalwen, you put your finger on a crucial aspect of Edith Tolkien's life, the conversion which was necessary for the marriage yet difficult for her.
In the course of my research on music in Tolkien's works I came across some biographical comments in Scull and Hammond's JRRT Companion and Guide; apparently she did play piano during the marriage, even if not at the time mentioned by the Icelandic helper: Quote:
Perhaps she was able to channel some of her emotions into her music later on.
