Anthony Burgess: 鈥淢y great ambition was to be a composer鈥
A celebrated writer with over 50 published books to his name, A Clockwork Orange author Anthony Burgess explains to legendary jazz pianist Oscar Peterson how music was his early passion.
Wanting to be a composer, Burgess humorously recalls how he settled for the "easier" career of becoming a novelist since it seemed to involve less work.
