The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Its heyday was in the mid‑20th century.
- The style is through-composed, usually shorter orchestral pieces and suites designed to appeal to a wider context and audience than more sophisticated forms such as the concerto, the symphony and the opera.
- Light music was especially popular during the formative years of radio broadcasting, with stations such as the BBC Light Programme playing almost exclusively "light" compositions.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Light music article was read about 30,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 67 and blocks with 55: each hit it takes is cut by 22 %.
