50 most beloved piano classics - ABRSM Grades

[kwtam338]

I have been listening to the "50 most beloved piano classics" CDs and I like many of the pieces. I would like to learn some of them but I am not sure if I am ready. I am self-taught and I can play quite well pieces such as Mozart K545 (all movements), Fur Elise (the whole piece), Bach Little Prelude BWV936 etc. So, I guess I am about ABRSM grade 4/5.

If someone could indicate the ABRSM grades of the pieces below, it would be highly appreciated. Thanks very much in advance.
