This figure of speech is a pun, which is a play on words that relies on a word having multiple meanings or sounding similar to another word. In this case, "chord" is a musical term for a combination of notes played together harmoniously on a piano, but it is also used metaphorically to mean a state of agreement or unity. So, the statement cleverly uses the musical meaning of "chord" to highlight the harmonious and united nature of the pianists' marriage.
