It depends on where you are from and under what music program you are studying.
In Canada, under the Royal Conservatory of Music, it is listed as a ARCT Performance piece, the whole sonata has to be played for examinations.
In Australia, under the Australian Music Examinations Board, the 1st movement used to be considered a grade 7 piece.
Many times a single movement of this piece is played. The first movement is quite difficult and is played only by advanced students; the second movement is slower and much simpler and is commonly played by early intermediate students; the third movement is not often played by itself, but would probably be considered intermediate in difficulty.
1st movt: Grade 8, Performance Certificate or 1st level Diploma (ATCL, ARCT or Dip. ABRSM are the main ones).
2nd movt: Grade 5/6.
3rd movt: Grade 6/7.
The whole piece is easily a 1st level Diploma.
Don't underestimate the 2nd movt however. In a 1st level Diploma exam it is largely considered as difficult as the 1st movt.

∙ 13y agoAs I asume that you mean Beethovens Moonlight Sonata which is opus 27, th sonata is grade 7 for the first movement alone and Licentiate for the whole piece. It may change during times.

It's not inappropriate, but there are other, slower-moving pieces which would be better suited to the solemnity of the occasion.
Who wrote the Pathétique Sonata?
Beethoven began writing music at a very young age, but his first public renown was as a virtuoso pianist, known for his genius at improvisation. His early piano music was intended for his own performance. This includes his first sonatas, including the Pathetique, the early chamber works and the first two piano concerti. As time went on he wrote some music for commissions or as gifts to friends, such as the piano piece Für Elise. In later years he wrote ideally, without any particular artist in mind.
