There is no short cut. Music takes place within a given time frame and it takes as long as it takes to listen and to build up a knowledge of repertoire. I wouldn't have it any other way, or else I would not still be learning.

Give your preference for softer piano music you might like to look at jazz piano trios (characteristically piano, double bass and drums). My favourite recently was the trio formed by the late Esbjörn Svensson.

Here's a list of jazz pianists that should take you a while to get through! You have a great adventure ahead of you.
