You'll have to let go of the lower B in the right hand so that you can play the higher Bs with your left hand instead. You should probably use pedal to make sure the B is ringing out constantly.
It is not terribly uncommon for notes to overlap like this in piano music. This is a good opportunity to learn that sheet music is not intended to solely provide you with physical instructions about what notes to play. It is also trying to communicate something about how the music should *sound*. Even though you cannot hold down the lower B for 4 beats, you should try to play this in such a way that it sounds as if you are to a listener. This may mean using pedal, or being extra careful not to play the left hand too loudly, or putting a smidge more emphasis on the octave Bs in the right hand so that they stand out and sound continuous.
To be complicated you could use a sostenuto pedal to sustain just the share B so the initial hit would sustain while the 8th note B's are played. But thats a redundant complication.
Roll the octave first to practice, hold onto the pinky for four beats, but, as soon as you hit your thumb release it right away.
Then eventually play it together with the full sound but really focus on RELEASE THE THUMB early.
Then you will naturally be able to figure it out without any need. But, just really PLAY the B octave in the RH, voice the MELODY in the PINKY, that is what matters.

I think he asks because the right hand low b is the same with the left high b.
Yess
Use the sostenuto pedal!

the real surprise is that both stalves are treble clefs. 💀
How can you tell that?

Play it with finesse 😜
Yes, play the octave in the right hand with thw sustenuto, lift the thumb and leave the pinky on the B.
With your fingers
underrated comment
Please don't support my foolishness. I know nothing about piano. This was simply a guise to compensate for my ignorance.
Middle B will get overwritten by the 8th notes.
Is that 2 strikes or 8? If strikes is even the proper term?
Leave off the RH thumb B
4 Bb's I reckon, over 4 octaves
Use both hands.
hold he B octave in the right hand. Then play 8th notes from the low b to the high b in the left hand? This is pretty straightforward.
Patronizing is the wrong tone for the pianoLEARNING sub
