The reason why I prefer "piano reduction" over "piano score" in this context is that the latter suggests something like a songbook from a musical, while a "reduction" is usually very complex and is done by condensing orchestral parts for piano.
You can play "piano scores" in the sense explained above long before you can even think of being admitted to a "Musikhochschule", where you'd learn to handle "Klavierauszüge".

piano arrangement
this is one of the aspects of learning to play the piano. I first thought it could be "sight reading"?

: "Piano arrangement" seems to suggest you're doing the arranging yourself!! (I thought of "sight reading" too - see my suggestion.)
