Your code worked like your desired outcome: mvt. I on one page, mvt.
II & III on the second page. I compiled it with 2.14.2. Maybe it broke
in 2.15, but I can't test that one.

You could try moving the \pageBreak out of the movement definition and
put it after the first \score block. That is allowed and should also
work.
