What grade is Beethoven's Sonata Pathetique?
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.

Was Mozart a romantic composer?
It is a matter of opinion as to who the best composer ever is, but the key point is that it is a matter of opinion.
Anyone can talk at length about why their favourite composer is the greatest composer of all-time, but there is bound to be someone who will be able to offer a counter-argument as to why their favourite composer is better. Yes, you could take some sort of poll or survey as to what everyone's favourite composer was and then determine who the most popular one is, but that wouldn't make them the greatest.
Mozart was a brilliant composer, but my advice is to listen to some of his works and see what you think. Then listen to other composers' works and then come to your own conclusion.

It's not a matter of opinion, and saying so over and over again still will not change that fact. It's not about favorites or most popular. If it is all opinion, then you could not argue if someone said Lady Gaga is better than Bach, and that would be a ridiculous claim.
There is no counter-argument to the claim that Beethoven or Bach were the greatest composers, or at least not one that makes sense or stands up to intellectual scrutiny. So I'm not sure why this discussion keeps going on and on. Mozart was among the greatest of all time, but he was not the greatest. That's it.
He was a first rate composer and a virtuoso violin player, among other things, I'm sure.
His most famous piece of music would have to be "The Four Seasons", which incidentally, I love.
