Which one? He wrote quite a few! And for solo or 4 hands?

I would think that for most of them you're looking at early advanced level, probably Grade 7+ ABRSM.

Search under Bernhard and Brahms, I remember he did a difficulty rating sometime ago.

Probably an "8" or slightly higher. It's somewhat awkward if I remember, at least for most hands (unless your hands are on the large size, and you prefer playing mostly with your forearm and wrist, in which case you might have a predisposition towards playing Brahms).

Kind of off topic but:

What is this "grade" that you are talking about? I never heard of it.

Is there a site where you can see the grades of some musics or know more about it?

I'm curious about in which grade I am haha.
