Strange squished notes and can grace notes be tied? (is what I'm seeing a slur?)
Piece is traümerei, what does this squished note mean (the conjoined crotchet and semibreve) and how do I play it?
Also can grace notes be tied? Or is any kind of connecting line on a grace note a slur no matter the pitch of the subsequent note?
Sorry for image quality
Thanks to all who can help!

In the first instance the "extra" crotchet is there because there are in effect two lines of music going on in the lower staff. One voice is the semibreve low F lasting for the whole bar. The other voice is a crotchet low F followed by the dotted minim C/A chord 1 beat later. It is that crotchet that tells you that the C/A chord is meant to be played on the second beat.
The second one: yes that is a tie. So you play low B flat, then F (and hold it) then the D.
