I wonder if it's pride when you are legitimately the best and are simply aware of it, and whether the fiddle truly meant anything.

I argue the only pride Johnny showed was the need to prove his prowess to a challenger.

There's a wide swath of grey here.

I mostly take "offense" (not really) at Johnny saying that he's "the best there's ever been." It's a pretty conceited statement to declare yourself the best at anything in all of history, even if it's true.

It's one thing to be proud of your accomplishments and skill. It's an entirely different thing to declare yourself mankind's crowning achievement in the world of fiddle playing.
