You should look at the primary source:  Segovia's letters to Ponce.  Sometime in the 
1920s, Segovia was in a great rush to perform the work and asked Ponce to attribute 
the work to.  He suggested Weiss as most of the music public already new most of 
Bach's guitar transcriptions.
 
I believe it is a fine work.  Lesser known is the Suite he wrote in D Major of which 
the Prelude is very beautiful indeed.  I have played both on Baroque lute and it 
sounds fine indeed!  Ponce is IMHO a highly under-rated guitar composer.  Why?  Most 
of his music was written by a piano based composer who wrote difficult music.  Many 
composer prefer the easy stuff like Sor and Guiliani and much of Villa Lobos.  
 
His La Folia Variations are probably his finest work.
