Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker dismisses a piano player as drunk and guesses that he is seeing double. The clipped phrasing makes the observation sound casual and contemptuous. It offers intoxication as an explanation for the player’s perception, without the isolated words establishing what prompted the remark.
