What grade is Songs Without Words 67/32

Songs without words op67 no 32, Felix Mendelssohn

You can see the sheet music at the link below, it's the second piece on the pdf download:
https://imslp.org/wiki/Category:Mendelssohn,_Felix

 
Am learning it after being inspired seeing Jakob Gimpel play, and wondered whether it had ever been an examination piece and what grade it would be?  Only three pages long but taking me weeks to learn.

Regards

Andy

Opus 67 contains six pieces, so check which number you are working on.

I have a list that advises the grade level of pieces, but I couldn't upload it as it is an Excel document with an .xls extention which is not allowed. :P

The grade levels are as follows according to this list.

Op.67, No.1 - Grade 7
Op.67, No.2 - Grade 7
Op.67, No.3 - Grade 6
Op.67, No.4 - Grade 8
Op.67, No.5 - Grade 6
Op.67, No.6 - Grade 7

I hope this helps.

It'll likely be the second and grade 7 then. 
There's me thinking with all that staccato arpeggiation it had to be grade 8 ;D

Many thanks

Andy
