Yeah. That's it's definition, but to save myself from the next question being, "what's a crushed note?". Well, I just said it's a grace note, which is what it is. Different term but the same thing. Traditional purists and Italians will often refer to it as a 'acciaccaturas'. I think Powertab calls it that too, if by any chance that is why you asked. We now call it a grace note.

Mozart used them alot and very well. Although I can't imagine using them that much, it would sound too goofy. :D Like when you roll your knuckles arcosst the black keys and play, "da-ah-la da da, da-ah-la da da". Ticks off piano players when you do that. hehe
