Revolutionary is pretty easy, it's just fast as hell. Perhaps my favourite piece right now though.

Fur Elise was grade 6 when I used it.

Try Gigue (in partia in Bb) for fast. It was Gr 9 when I used it for my gr 8 - but they were talking about boosting it up to grade 10. Lots of two hands crossing & stuff; in the player's favour, it's not that long.

Most of the Chopin pieces are at least 9th grade level, I believe. Smile
