Method acting in music - does it work?

Drawing parallels between your own experiences and the role you’re playing is a well-known concept in acting. Actors manage to use the emotions they experienced at a specific moment or period of their life to make their character’s emotions more believable. But could this concept work in music as well? If I play an Amoroso passage while thinking of how I felt when I was first in love, does it come across through the instrument?
