I am not sure which of the two subjects-Marmite or York Bowen-leaves me completely bemused ;D
That statement arguably says more about your self-confessed uncertainty than it does about either Marmite or Bowen, methinks; on what grounds are you unsure about this?

I have never tasted Marmite
Your wisdom is enviable!

and I wish people talked less about York Bowen-who seems to have "spread" (haha) from thread to thread ::)
Sorabji wrote very favourably about York Bowen (who incidentally dedicated his 24 Preludes for piano to Sorabji). He did not do so about Marmite. That said, his friend the Scots poet Hugh MacDiarmid made an observation about how he saw Sorabji as having brought together the Occidental and the Oriental in music; he could have said that Sorabji melded the west with the yeast - but mercifully he didn't.

Now, where's me coat?...
