The "time signature" at the beginning of the piece tells how many beats there will be in each measure, and what size note will receive one beat. From there on, all the different size notes in the piece are figured from that. It can even change during the piece, but if that happens, then there has to be a new time signature at the place in the music where it changes.
In Totentanz,
"the skeleton corners the unfortunate Türmer, who quivers in cowardice, and is about to deliver a deathly blow when providence saves the Türmer just in time". The poem is about the skeletons of men and women who have died dance in the middle of the night. When their shrouds fall across the graveyard, the warder picks one up. When the dead try to go back into their tombs, the one whose shroud was taken stays awake. He seeks out the warder and seeks the warder's death unless he returns it.
