Question

what is the intended method of playing the double stemmed g in measure 4? seemingly a double stop, but how?

Tiffany Johnson –
That is a wonderful observation! You are exactly right that it looks like a double stop at first glance, but it is actually a notational device used by the arranger to show voice leading.
Because this piece compresses Beethoven’s multi-layered piano texture onto a single cello staff, the double stem indicates that two separate musical lines—the sustaining bass line (stem down) and the moving triplet accompaniment (stem up)—have temporarily landed on the exact same pitch.
How to play it: You do not need to attempt a double stop. Simply play a single, resonant G. The notation is just there to remind you that this single note serves two functions at once: it initiates the triplet rhythm while acting as the sustaining harmonic foundation for the measure. Happy practicing!
