How to play this note

Hello,

Can anyone please tell me on how I am supposed to play the circled notes?

Wouldn't the dotted half notes be sufficient? I assume not, otherwise it probably wouldn't be written that way.

Thanks!

Chord progression

Hey guys, I am really struggeling with getting the chord progression for the left hand into a nice sounding and as little movement as possible version. If you could help me or tell me what I am doing wrong then that would be really appreciated.

Let me show you how I try to play the chords (this is just to the first repeat sign, as I hope that if I understand it by then, the rest should be alright):

G: G3-B3-D4

G/F#: F3#-B3-E4

Em: E3-G3-B3

Em/D: D3-G3-B3

C: C3-E3-G3

A7/C#: C3#-E3-G3

D: D3-F3#-A3

D7/C: C-F3#-A3

Bo7: B2-D3-G3#

Bo7/A: A2-D3-G3#

E7/G#: G2#-D3-E3

E7: E2-G2#-D3

Am: A2-C3-E3

Am/G: G2-C3-E3

D7/F#: F2#-C3-D3

D7: D2-F2#-C3

G: G2-B2-C2

Em7: now I am lost on how to continue. Do I go down to E2 and then move succesively up? If I then continue moving upwards to the repeat my A7 will land in C4 territory and sounds a) too high and b) I will touch the right hand melody. Or do I go for inversions? But I think then the Slash chords wont make any sense any more.

Help would be greatly appreciated! I am going njts over this 🤯😤

Thanks and best regards,

Yves
