Gardener covered much but thought I'd add one or two other methods -
For chamber music or and orchestral music take a small section you like and write it in short score --- that is if it is a quintet or chamber symphony piece, transcribe the music to three staves and notate the doubling of certain lines (eg, bass, violin, picc play melodic line that you have written). This is also a great way to practice writing tranposing instruments at concert pitch AND also deal with some music that doesn't translate well to the piano as a whole.
Start small with your score study -- for example, tackling Schoenberg's Gurrelieder though admirable would be daunting to say the least --- start with Hadyn string quartets or some of Teleman's tafelmusik.
Do you have a particular piece you would like to study?
