Grading pieces
«

I have to take part in a competition. You have to choose 3 - 4 pieces of Grade 8.
However, I don't know the standard of the pieces of my choice.
Please help me to find out the standard of them and give me advice:
1.Tchaikovsky: June from Seasons
2.Mozart: Sonata in C KV 309 rondo
3.Chopin : Etudes Op.10 No.1
P.S. Sorry for my bad English.

What do you mean by standard?
I'm pretty sure "June" isn't grade 8

If you mean ABRSM grades, then
Tchaikowsky is grade 7
Mozart is grade 8 (the sonata as a whole).
Chopin is advanced (well above grade 8 ).
Best wishes,
Bernhard.

You are welcome.
Look here (just the tip of the iceberg) for some grade 8 romantic pieces:

(Chopin pieces grades 7 & 8 )
http://pianoforum.net/smf/index.php/topic,6954.msg69289.html#msg69289
(Chopin Polonaises, graded)
http://pianoforum.net/smf/index.php/topic,3827.msg34579.html#msg34579
(grades for Chopin preludes)
http://pianoforum.net/smf/index.php/topic,3943.msg35797.html#msg35797
