What grade would you consider the third movement of Saint Saëns piano concerto no.5 to be?

Seriously? You already posted this EXACT question an hour prior to this 2nd thread asking the same question...

It's not exactly obvious to a new user that you aren't supposed to cross post.

Admittedly I'm not very familiar with the Saint-Saëns Concertos. I'd assume that it's less difficult than Op. 111 no. 6 (a Toccata based on that movement, I believe). I'll probably come back to this thread in a day-ish. :)

Maybe get the sheet music and find out? Surely someone who is a student can usually look at a piece of music and tell whether it's almost the same difficulty as repertoire they've previously played... or if it's absolutely ghastly and well above them.

Grade??? Well above Grade 8 ABRSM & AMEB, and probably FMusA level.

How hard is it? It's quite bloody hard, but not as hard as Rachmaninoff's 3rd piano concerto or probably not as hard as Moszkowski's 4th movement from the E Major.

I'd imagine that the reason for the thread is to get an outside opinion.
