I haven't been lazy: I have checked many sources. In David Etheridge's
book "Mozart's Clarinet Concerto" he tells us that Stanley Hasty, Robert
Marcellus, Anthony Gigliotti and Harold Wright all play it on the beat
though they differ in the lengths. Michele Incenzo does it before the
beat. I found no direct help in C.P.E. Bach's "Essay on the True Art of
Playing Keyboard Instruments", nor in Colin Lawson's "Mozart Clarinet
Concerto". I got out my recordings. Goodman, Kl=F6cker and Taillard (my
favorite recording) do it on the beat, Deinzer, Hoeprich (my second
favorite recording) and Leister all before the beat whereas, believe it
or not, the Berlin Phil. under Kubelik do it very definitely on the beat
after Leister just did it otherwise. Even though they are at the top of
the pecking order, I still find it unacceptable! (I hope my
conductor/orchestra do better!)

I would like to do it on the beat ... but if I am proved wrong, I am
willing to accept it. Can anyone help??

Take a look at Frittz Neuman's book, "Improvisation and Ornamentation in=20
Mozart."
Published by Oxford University Press, if memory serves me.
