That was the point of the reference. It was intended to be general. The point of my statement was not meant to refer to the contents of the movements just their general position within the work. Check it out. This term is in print and is used perhaps only occasionally in print. Trust me. I too am a classically trained pianist and musician and have been playing since I was about 4 also. I think this topic has been beaten to death.
Back to my chemical reaction.......

Not only do I have my B.Mus. and have been playing piano since age 4 (I
won't tell you how many years since that would reveal my age hehe...),
both my parents were professional musicians.. my grandmother was an
opera singer, my sister and both my brothers are also in music.. so I
therefore consider myself a somewhat humble authority on the subject...
I normally hear a movement referred to as it's placement in the
piece.... an 'inner' reference does not denote which specific movement..
it's too general, since some pieces have several movements. It's like
saying: in a sandwich there are two slices of bread and 'stuff' in the
middle... but 'stuff' doesn't exactly tell you what's in it!
Cheers :p
