    It is most certainly a "hauntingly beautiful" piece, but only if it's played by one who feels the music, rather than just playing it. You are one of those rare people, and it shows. I've heard this piece many times, but your rendition is one of the best I've ever "felt". Bravo ! Keep up the great work. 🥰

      You can learn to play it. If you want to, I guarantee it. Practice, supervision, you can do it.

      Of course you can. I taught myself to play Villa Lobos Prelude No.1 in E. The self teaching wasn't exactly easy but the piece isn't too difficult technically at least. Playing it how the composer intended is another matter.
      Julian Bream's Masterclass helped quite a lot but when I was teaching myself 12 years ago. The full vid wasn't available on UA-cam. I really could've used it but the full vid is on UA-cam now.
      I used guitar tabs and they are mostly all, almost completely wrong in most passages, however they are still very useful because they get you playing, working and progressing etc. Annoyingly playing it properly isn't anymore difficult than playing it according to the Tabs.
      Then you see the piece played properly on YT or wherever and can adjust. Using Tabs isn't ideal but you can get online lessons these days and it is all experience, right or wrong.
      It doesn't have to be perfect. Perfection comes from variety, experience and regular practice. For me I need a teacher but you could be different. I get frustrated, get a mental block and can't progress. A teacher could really help.
      I eventually found I played best when I was watching TV (after about a 90 min warm up) and playing. As soon as my full attention went to what I was doing it all went downhill. The subconscious and the conscious mind doing battle I think.
      So what was my Villa Lobos like? A firm 1/10. After I taught myself that, I severed 2x tendons in my hand and haven't picked the guitar up since LOL. Oh well.

    Oooh surprise Beatrix video.
    What I like the most about your vids Beatrix is that they feel so homely, no overproduced studio nonsense, just you, the guitar, and passion. It's always wonderful to see you play.

    I learnt this a good few years ago now, though I never played it as well as you do though. As you say, it is part 1 of the Suita del Recuerdo. I tried to continue and learn the other parts of the suite, but they were beyond me, and I didn't have time to work at them. But Evocaion is such a wonderfully logical piece to play, its a joy. Thanks for the reminder that now I'm retired I do have the time (if not the skill) to continue and learn the rest!
