John Anthony Burgess Wilson, FRSL (1917 – 1993), who published as "Anthony Burgess," was an English writer and composer. His dystopian satire A Clockwork Orange remains his best-known novel
Burgess also composed over 250 musical works and considered himself as much a composer as an author. His remarkable rmusical, dramatic, and linguistic abilities make his "paean" to Mozart a significant commentary.
