Beethoven: assosciate
Chopin waltz: 7th grade
Chopin ballade: Licentiate
Mozart rondo: 7th grade
Mozart fantasia: don't know
Liszt etude: licentiate+
Chopin etude op 25 no 11: licentiate

The grade depends on what school of music you are studying with.  I have seen pieces by one school graded as 8 and another as grade 6 for the same piece.
