In the mid-1930s she was living at Studio 4, 59 Edwardes Square, London W.8. As a pianist she specialised in piano duet performances, initially with Paul Hamburger. They premiered Alan Rawsthorne's The Creel in 1940, and the Fantasia on The Irish Ho-Hoane, Op.13 by Bernard Stevens in 1949. Malcolm Arnold dedicated his Concerto for Piano Duet and Strings, op. 32 to Pyke and Hamburger, who gave its first performance in August 1951, and again at the Proms in 1953. Just before her death in 1954 Pyke also partnered for piano duets with Maurice Cole. Between the wars she worked for ENSA, the Arts Council and the YMCA. She married the musicologist Mosco Carner in 1944. He dedicated his 1958 book Puccini: a Critical Biography to the memory of his wife. (en)
