The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The canon was originally scored for three violins and basso continuo and paired with a gigue, known as Canon and Gigue for 3 violins and basso continuo.
- Both movements are in the key of D major.
- The piece is constructed as a true canon at the unison in three parts, with a fourth part as a ground bass throughout.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Pachelbel's Canon article was read about 200,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 69 and blocks with 54: each hit it takes is cut by 22 %.
