depends how well your playing them they have appeared on ABRSM lists (if indeed thats helpfull) at levels grade 6 and 7 in recent years. But really your level is more the quality at which you play rather than the pieces. I mean I sightead Gaspard de la nuit and Brahms op5 sonata but I wouldn't presume to say I am at the level where i could give definative performances of them just yet - theres always a growing into and a growing out of phase when it comes to repertoire less so as you go up (everythings hard then!)

Keep banging them keys and enjoy ! Don't get too hung up on levels - if you want yto be hung up on anything be hung up on improving!!!!
