Morphology
The meaning "a musical work" is directly and transparently derived from combining 'piece' (a composition or work) with the linking preposition 'of' and 'music' (organized sounds); the phrase follows the common, compositional pattern 'piece of X'. This productive noun‑phrase structure is cross‑linguistically common and predictable, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents should understand it.
Etymology
Piece of music comes from the simple word piece, meaning a part you can take from something larger. Imagine taking one page or one song out of a book of songs — that single piece is a 'work' you can play, so today the phrase means 'a single musical work'.
