Map the Eight D-Minor Gesture Targets

Section one is Dm–A7–Dm/F–B-flat. D minor begins on degree I in the minor wrist world with one right-hand finger. A7 moves to degree V, rotates to the major world and opens four right-hand fingers. Dm/F returns to degree I and minor while using two right-hand fingers for first inversion. B-flat then moves to degree VI, changes back to major and closes to one finger.

Section two is Gm7–C–A7–Dm. G minor seventh uses degree IV, minor wrist and three right-hand fingers. C uses degree VII, major wrist and one finger. A7 returns to degree V, keeps the major world and opens four fingers. The final D minor returns to degree I, tilts to minor and closes to the one-finger triad.

Memorise the world route first: minor, major, minor, major; minor, major, major, minor. Then learn the right-hand counts: one, four, two, one; three, one, four, one. This alternating structure is the exercise's dramatic-control challenge, but every change remains a discrete camera input rather than an interpretation of the ballet music.

• Target 2: degree V, major wrist and four fingers for A7.
• Target 3: degree I, minor wrist and two fingers for Dm/F.
• Target 5: degree IV, minor wrist and three fingers for Gm7.
• Targets 7–8: change A7 to Dm across degree, world and quality.

Separate Dramatic World Changes from Large Arm Motion

The sequence changes major and minor worlds often, but the tracker needs a clear wrist orientation rather than a large sweep. Keep the left hand in one stable camera area and rotate only enough for the displayed world to settle. Let the scale-degree finger count remain visible throughout the wrist change. Moving the whole arm can introduce an unintended degree and make the transition less reliable.

A complete target must remain readable for about 350 milliseconds. During the 650-millisecond confirmation pause, prepare the next left-hand degree and world before changing the right-hand quality. If a transition passes briefly through another chord, slow the order of changes instead of exaggerating the pose. Horizontal position is not part of this practice mapping.

Prepare Gm7 at the Break and Build the Final Cadence

When B-flat locks, the section-complete screen pauses the target route. Before selecting Next section, form degree IV, tilt into the minor world and show three right-hand fingers for Gm7. This pre-entry prevents the previous major wrist and one-finger quality from appearing as an accidental G major. The optional click stops at the break as well.

The closing C–A7–Dm changes from degree VII to V to I. C and A7 share the major wrist but change the right hand from one to four fingers. Dm then changes degree, wrist and quality together. Prepare degree I first, tilt to minor second and close to one right-hand finger last; this order keeps the final cadence readable.

Use the Fixed 74 BPM Reference and Fix Misreads

Complete both sections without the click before enabling the built-in metronome. It starts after the first detected chord and stays at the song's fixed 74 BPM. The pulse is a neutral preparation reference; it does not encode the ballet score, approve a pose, skip a target or continue through the section break. Restart it after Next section when needed.

If A7 reads as A, show four separated right-hand fingertips. If Dm/F reads as D minor, preserve degree I and display two fingers. If B-flat or C remains minor, clarify the major wrist. If Gm7 becomes G minor, keep degree IV and the minor wrist while adding the three-finger seventh quality. Late audio after visual confirmation should be treated as output latency, not a gesture error.

Finish with a world-only rehearsal, a right-hand-count rehearsal and one full no-Skip pass. A successful run means all eight browser targets became stable in order. It does not mean the page reproduced, transcribed or evaluated any part of the original Swan Lake score or performance.
