Morphology

piano + music

The meaning 'sheet music written or arranged to be played on the piano' is transparently derived from combining 'piano' (the instrument) with 'music' (organized sound). This noun-noun modifier pattern (instrument + music) is common cross-linguistically and follows standard composition, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand the phrase.

Etymology

Piano music can also mean the written notes for the piano, like pages a player reads to know which keys to press. That's why it means 'sheet music written or arranged to be played on the piano'.
