What grade would Mendelssohn's Fantasy Op.28 be?

Or more specifically... what grade would each movement be? I, II, and III?

Mendelssohn wrote this Fantasia when he was 19 and its dedicated to Moscheles.

The second and third movements sound in a Beethovenian style IMO

I really like this piece and its criminally underrated. Get Benjamin Frith´s recording.

First Movement (I adore those arpeggios) = 8
Second = 6
Third = 9

The masterpiece tell the performer what to do, and not the performer telling the piece what it should be like, or the cocomposer what he ought to have composed.
