I think you analysis to very cogent. I found his second Eingang was too
fussy and too lengthy. Now you should play the Youtube performance of the
same movement by that British kid who was a genius clarinet player as a
child, though now his is approaching his adult years.

And you are correct in referring to the "appoggiatura" as being on the beat.
The translation of the word "appoggiare" means "to lean upon," which is
exactly the point; the emphasis is on the first note of the pair. What the
appoggiatura does is create a dissonance by the fact that the first note of
the pair is not in the harmony. But the resolution then resolves the
dissonance be leaving the first note to go to the second note of the pair,
which is in the harmony. It can be delicious is not overdone. It is
delightful musical tension.

Did you notice that in a series of trills, he entered each trill from above,
with each one having an appoggiatura that began the trill? And his
improvisations were pleasant.

Dan Leeson.
