Subj: K622 Trills

I have been listening to Mozart's Clarinet Concerto in A (K622). It has
lots of trills marked in the score. I thought the trill was passe
during the classical period - a remnant of the baroque period and
considered corny or old fashioned. Did Mozart have a particular
affection for it?

Also, comparing the Shifirin recording to the Marcellus, I note that Mr.
Shifirin begins his trills on the higher note (in baroque fashion), but
not so with Mr Marcellus. Any comments? Ideas?
