Well, the Beethoven Sonata Op79 is Grade 7-8 (probably Grade 8 to play well at correct speed)
The other two movements are easier, the slow movement about Grade 5. I played the last movement for Grade 6 (LCM) in about 1960 ! Its probably still that. Great for practising '3 against 4'.

The Bach and Chopin are certainly Grade 8 ish.

They have the same level of accreditation.
What some people find hard others may find easy... or a least easier.
