Me switching to John Williams during practice normally: “😡 grumblegrumble composer hates violinists 😡 grumble”
Me switching to John Williams after working on some Paganini: “I mean, it’s not *that* bad”

A student is on their second week with the Mozart violin concerto No 3 in G Major. Today we worked a lot on finessing the bow strokes in the first movement exposition.
Student looked at me at the end of the lesson: “I could spend an hour a day just on this.”
Yes, dear student. This is why Mozart is on every audition list everywhere.
