Todd Yvega, quoted by Charles Ulrich, The Big Note, 2018, p. 623-624

[For The Yellow Shark] all movements from "None Of The Above" were rearranged to add a part for contrabass, thus making it a quintet . . . Frank then re-orchestrated one of the movements to utilize the entire ensemble (and ultimately added a lot of 'eyebrows' by verbal instruction during the rehearsals). It is my understanding that . . . "None Of The Above," "Pentagon Afternoon," [and] "Questi Cazzi Di Piccione" are three movements from "None Of The Above" with the full orchestra piling onto the middle movement.
