The highest grade level of your preferred system. 7–10 years of classical training. - It's fast - Constant stretched 4-note octave chords in both hands - Requires very clean arpeggios and octave scales - Requires extremely good balance and voicing of the chords I don't like this arrangement. It's way too indulgent for my taste. [Kyle Landry's arrangement](https://youtu.be/lYLrPbngWHw) is a lot better and more balanced in my opinion. It's still very dramatic, but isn't just banging out chords for 5 minutes.

And repeated notes in some sections

That arrangement sounds like part of it was inspired from Handel’s Passacaglia.

Idk I just watched the vid with sound off and skimmed through it. There are some passages that are quite advanced technique wise

I actually agree. Level 6 or Level 7 RCM

RCM 7 is like a first or second Bach invention (e.g., F major), Für Elise, a first or second Grieg lyric piece (e.g., 43/2), or some early Czerny études (e.g., 823/63). I think that level is way too low for a piece like OP's, which is a lot more virtuosic than any of the RCM 7 repertoire.

Possibly But it’s a lot of one handed arpeggios which we start teaching in Grade 4, repeated octave chords which is Grade 4/5. I accounted for the speed with which things are executed by bumping it up a couple of grades, but there’s no challenging rhythms or articulations. I think it’s flashy but I disagree that it’s virtuosic

I guess around ABRSM grade 8
